The gardeners have been spring cleaning and sharpening their tools! Good horticultural practice and necessary for proper plant and tree hygiene.

The mornings at Melbourne have been pretty chilly

The mornings at Melbourne have been pretty chilly lately, ice forming on the water of The Great Basin. 🦢
The Hall itself however, remains a warm family home. The history of the people and families who have enjoyed living there from the 1700s right up until today, has been written in our latest e-newsletter by our head tour guide, Gill Weston. It makes fascinating reading.
Also in the newsletter are notes and pictures from the Gardens by the gardeners, Nicky and Kat. From wildlife observations to tips on garden maintenance. There is also a tasty vegetarian recipe from the garden by clever cook @janelovettcookery, news of animal antics in the paddocks from Alice Robinson and a round up of the latest retail offerings from @melbournehallcourtyard .
If you haven't received your copy yet then simply sign up to our Melbourne Hall Gardens website and it will be delivered to your email inbox in time to scroll through the pages in the comfort of your own home at the weekend.

"The rustling of leaves under the feet in woods an

"The rustling of leaves under the feet in woods and under hedges;
The crumpling of cat-ice and snow down wood-rides,
narrow lanes and every street causeway;
Rustling through a wood or rather rushing, while the wind halloos in the oak-toop like thunder;
The rustle of birds' wings startled from their nests or flying unseen into the bushes; "
From a poem called Pleasant Sounds by John Clare. Before his work was recognised Clare was a farm labourer and for a while a gardener himself. Hence he wrote famously about nature and rural life.
