Summer 2021 edition highlights
The summer issue of National Trust Magazine lands as the boughs of the natural world are bursting with life and we hope it will inspire you to enjoy all that summer has to offer across the National Trust.
Escaping into a garden is one of the true joys of the season, whether you’re soaking in the atmosphere at a garden we care for or pottering with plants in your own. Rebecca Bevan, author of a new book called The National Trust School of Gardening, explains how to identify the spirit of a garden and bring it to life in your own space.
Elsewhere, you can read reflections from Director-General Hilary McGrady and find out what has been going on behind the scenes at the places we look after over the last few months.
We also share how some of the smaller properties in our care are welcoming visitors back slightly differently following the pandemic and explore how a former golf course is becoming a rich space for people and nature at the National Trust’s first stretch of coast in Lincolnshire.
Finally, hear from the tenant farmers who are rearing lamb and beef grazed on herb-rich pasture. Try out fresh flavour combinations to accompany grass-fed meat from Development Chef Clive Goudercourt and summer-ready recipes for spice-rubbed steak, courgette and mint salad, and tzatziki.
Listen to exclusive audio interviews
We produce an hour-long audio version of each magazine which covers the main articles from the magazine and includes extra behind-the-scenes chats with our contributors. It's ideal for those with visual impairment, or anyone who wants to hear exclusive interviews. This edition is presented by Sally Palmer, Editor of National Trust Magazine.
