Gardening Leave

Come and get your hands dirty in a quintessentially English Manor House!

We are delighted to introduce our second Gardening Leave weekend at Asthall Manor. This residential weekend will combine practical tuition in nature-friendly growing methods with a chance to relax in our iconic, offbeat Manor, explore the much-loved gardens, and enjoy nutritious vegetarian meals in congenial company.

Running from the evening of Friday 20^th September to the afternoon of Sunday 22^nd September, the weekend will include:

• Practical food-growing tuition and a good dose of intriguing theory into our people-friendly and wildlife-friendly methods with our resident food grower, Tim Mitchell.
• An insight into the possibilities and pitfalls of setting up a food-growing enterprise.
• Healthy breakfasts, simple lunches and delicious 2 or 3-course vegetarian dinners.
• Yoga
• Access to Asthall Manor’s 18-acres of garden, meadow and woodland, including use of our natural pool, tennis court and numerous special spots to sit and daydream in.
