Whitstone Farm diary
Spring 2024
Over the last 24 years it we have enjoyed welcoming guests and sharing our very special garden with the
spectacular views.. We have shared many hours of conversation, laughter, meals, wine and G & T’s with visitors.!
BUT - the time has now come to retire however you can still make contact by emailing Katie on
klbbovey@gmail.com or 01626 832258 and, if passing, pop in for tea, coffee and a chat.
. It’s always a busy time for any gardener and there are no exceptions. Whatever the time of year the garden
always looks lovely. All this is due to Barney Hodge , our marvellous groundsman. His gardening knowledge and care
is beyond belief. Whitstone Farm garden is as much Barney’s as ours.
Unfortunately have lost some precious Eucryphias. However gardeners are always optimistic and IF we lose a
plant or shrub that allows another treasure a space to occupy, .
Apart from the plants and trees of course we have numerous birds and animals who visit our garden, we recently
watched a Sparrowhawk on patrol and the buzzards wheel around overhead in the sunshine ! Needless to say
our cat, Woody patrols the garden except when he spots a deer , then he runs for home as they are bigger than
him.. Hard yo believe Woody has been resident her for almost 9 years
We are continuing to open our garden under the National Garden Scheme - NGS and will open the last two Sunday
afternoons of April 2024 (21st and 28th) to see the BLUEBELLS, then again on 28th July 2024 for our
Eucryphias and summer colour in the garden
In the meantime stay safe and keep well
