Work beings on reinstating the former path network
Contractors have started work resurfacing the paths between the glasshouses, and will then be reinstating the lost path network which once adorned the Kitchen Garden in the 1900's . The work should be completed by the middle of February 2020. Over this period the Kitchen Garden may only be open to the public on weekends so we can complete this next exciting step in the restoration project.

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.
