Picked the last of the John Downie Crabapples, they make the best Chilli Jelly. The crab apples are so delicious, you could almost eat them raw. Chilli jelly is a firm favourite in our family. Especially good with lamb & pork, but my family will eat it with anything. It certainly doesn’t last long.

Starting to sort out all of last years pot bulbs. After flowering the bulbs were removed, and left to dry with their foliage still on. They were then hung in paper bags from the roof of the potting shed. This was a tip that I got from Ferguson Garrett on a visit earlier this year to In past years many of the bulbs have been eaten by mice. A lot of people disguard tulip bulbs after the first year of flowering, I tend to replant them into the borders. They might not always put on the same show, but many come back year on year.

My first visit to . Spent a very pleasant couple of hours admiring their spring planting. Very impressed by the quality of plants, being nurtured with great care. Less impressed with the hour wait for two bowls of soup, although it was delicious. Enjoyed a nice chat about Tulips with .garrett.

salt. Can’t wait to use this on summer BBQ’s. I used lovely with our wild garlic, blitzed in food processor and dried out over night in the bottom of the Aga.

The gardens are over flowing with blooms this time of year. In between our wedding, there is always a surplus that need cutting in order to encourage more flowers. It’s a delightful cycle, the more you pick, the more they bloom. For the past few years I have been drying our surplus flowers and making them into the most beautiful for our weddings. This lovely mix is for B&T’s wedding in a couple of weeks time. and . The Aga dries them beautifully in just a few days.

Clematis Montana Grandiflora in full flower. I have this scrambling over the Bothy and also the Coach House. It’s tough, and never fails to impress. The two outside the entrance I planted into old chimney pots, bit of a gamble, and half expected to have to re-position….however, both love it, and have spread up and inside the Coach House Courtyard cover. Not only does it look beautiful, but smells wonderful too.

Birdsong in the woodland gardens. Can’t help but have our spirits lifted listening to these #soundsofspring

The Tamar Historic Transport Club Vintage Cars really are looking superb within the gardens and grounds at the English Country Garden Festival this weekend.

A glorious first hour at our English Country Garden Festival... the house terrace is positively buzzing!

Hooray for #worldbeeday ~ celebrating what these amazing creatures do for us all! Our bee keeper Gary will be talking about our hives, all things bee keeping & sharing the great things we get to enjoy from nurturing & keeping our buzzy friends thriving at the English Country Garden Festival on 1st & 2nd June. Fingers crossed we’ll also have some Coombe Trenchard Hive Honey, candles and furniture polish for festival visitors to buy too! #worldbeeday #bees #beesarefriends #beekeeping #coombetrenchardgardens #coombetrenchardbees #englishcountrygardenfestival #busybees #traditionalshow #gardenshow #countryshow #devondayout

An Arts & Crafts House with Edwardian Gardens

Welcome to Coombe Trenchard ~ a stunning privately-owned country house estate in the West of Devon, with restored Edwardian gardens.

Sarah and Philip Marsh are thrilled to open and share their home on carefully selected dates each year for exclusive weddings and parties, for garden and group visits, and for their much loved annual summer event, The English Country Garden Festival.

This intriguing home has many delightful original features, to include a unique disappearing wall.

Set within the most beautiful gardens with far-reaching Dartmoor views, and acres of inspiring grounds, Sarah and Philip have lovingly restored Coombe Trenchard as a fine example of Edwardian splendour.
