Spring has very definitely arrived at High House!

The bees are loving our Yoshino Cherry blossom.

Areas of grass in ‘the dip’ have been covered for 6-8 months, suppressing the grass,  ready for raking, wild flower seed sowing and plug planting in the coming weeks.

We’re aiming to create a butterfly friendly area in this sheltered spot in the South Park.  Species like rock rose, pasque flower and orchids –  as well as our bespoke seed mix – will increase the diversity of the grasslands further.

At some point we may create a small pond to add to the habitat.

The Apple Café Opens today for the 2025 Season! A big welcome back to Kim, Richmond and the team.
