May is a buzz of activity in our organic demonstration garden. We'll be sowing the first peas, beans and carrots in our vegetable garden - and they'll be delicious rows of heritage lettuces and radish to admire.
Join Elaine Goold for this practical workshop to learn about the importance of biodiversity in encouraging a healthy, flourishing growing space.
In May, our two ponds will also be coming to life: look out for newts, which will be making an appearance in the pond to mate and lay eggs, and frog and toad spawn.
