Think like a plant
Broadfield Court is mentioned in the Domesday book of 1086, and vegetables would have been grown there then and since. The walled garden was built around 1823, and it has been supplying good food for the house’s occupants ever since. Marion Williams is the estate gardener at Broadfield Court, trained in the traditional ways by her predecessor now retired, and now, in this fascinating book, she passes on her knowledge gained over a lifetime of working with the seasons and the weather to produce wholesome food there. Her motto:
The plants tell us what to do
And the weather tells us when to do it
So think like a plant
But keep an eye on the weather She explains in straightforward language how she goes about growing organic vegetables in the ancient walled garden of an historic estate in Herefordshire. The book includes lots of illustrations and recipes from the award winning Court Café menu, and takes the reader through the seasons at Broadfield Court, as the land is prepared, seeds planted and seedlings nurtured and planted out, then tended as they grow and finally harvested on a daily basis and delivered to the chefs in the kitchen, as fresh as could possibly be. The book is available for download from the website. |
