Planting the maize maze
The green shoots of maize are starting to appear in the old allotment area in the Kitchen Garden. This 2 acre site will become a 'maize maze' this summer before we reinstall the former path and hedge network as we progress with phase one of our Kitchen Garden restoration project over the autumn/winter. Come back in the summer holidays to explore the new maize maze – we will be asking for donations on entry, all of which will go towards the Kitchen Garden restoration project.

Clearing the old allotments
Towards the end of April we cleared the old allotment site and cultivated the ground, ready for our new maize maze. This will hopefully be sown in the next few weeks and ready for visitors to use in the summer. Longer term this space will be turned back into vegetable beds as per the original Victorian design.

Creating the flower garden
During February we have been creating the flower garden, once lost, in the north - eastern corner of the Kitchen Garden. This area is currently vegetable beds and, due to a kind donation, we are able to remove these and recreate the historical and colourful flower borders. This work will be followed by planting of the herbaceous borders and flower beds in May. This new addition will significantly enhance the garden and kickstart the work needed to reach our long term ambitions.
