Back when Potager was still on the drawing board, Cornwall was recovering from the mass influx of 'total eclipse of the sun' visitors. Peter & I had big plans, finding no role models we gleaned ideas were we could.
As a gift from friends we visited the Bristol Relaxation Centre and I was hooked, "We must have one of these " I insisted!
Eleven years on the garden is blooming and such a joy to wander through as it has balanced, giving me great pleasure to maintain now the pressure of reclaiming abandoned nursery stock is over. ( the last area has recently been cleared & chipped)
The cafe is in safe hands with Awen and Tanya cooking beautiful food fresh from the gardens' abundance.
Saffa propagates new herbs and herbaceous perennials with new found skills from 2 years study at Duchy College. Organically grown and displayed in true Potager style.
Mark,Ben and Gary maintain the site & buildings, building pizza ovens, tables, compost loos. . . seemingly overnight.
Peter is painting, new work for exhibition in the new gallery,
Meanwhile I have been training to be a masseur at Penwith College. Qualifying on Tuesday the day after a studio became available, how amazing and exciting!
From August I will be offering visitors to the garden Swedish massage .
