All this wet weather is providing a great environment for mushroom spotting at Fairlight Hall

Congratulations to Jan Mears for winning the Fairlight Hall raffle. At the NGS garden open day. Remember we will again tomorrow come and check it out.

Honey bees are swarming, two swarms in two weeks. Hopefully there will be lots of Fairlight honey this year.

First peony’s are coming out on the haha border, they are a few weeks late but it is worth the wait.

Fantastic Homemade hose reel made by our Estate Mar on a rainy day. Very innovative.

The camassia or wild Hyacinth are looking splendid on the Haha border this morning.

Stunning erythronium or Dogs tooth violet coming up in the lawns.

At Fairlight we manage weeds the organic way with a BURNER. It’s incredibly effective and much better for environment than use of herbicides

Mowing the paths, and mowing framing stripes along the edges of our wildflower meadow here at Fairlight hall.

A few of our Tulip displays across the garden. Many are just opening . So more to come!

Perpetrations are underway for our beautiful pictorial meadow. Bro NY organic we can’t use chemicals so we burn off the weeds, dig over, rake and sow seed. In three months time a beautiful golden meadow.

Thank you Simon Everitt!everittcountryside.co.uk. It’s so important to keep traditional hedge laying techniques alive. An elegant natural barrier and important wildlife corridor. Continuing 12 years of hard work to increase biodiversity across the site.
