LandScape in the April issue

April is when spring colour comes to the fore, and the renewal of life is celebrated at Easter. This issue is filled with vibrancy and fresh ideas to make the most of this blossoming month.

Gorgeous gardening

Step into an untamed haven at a former Herefordshire mill, where ebullient planting melds into the landscape. Delight at the symphony from trios of petals as trilliums burst forth in borders, and pair dainty blooms with nature’s fragile gifts in delightful Easter arrangements.

Inspirational cookery

Enjoy the goodness of watercress in light lunches and tasty bites, and share a minty lamb-packed roll full of seasonal flavours. Serve soft sponges with creamy fruit fillings in indulgent layers, perfect for family gatherings.

Exquisite craft

Meet textile artist Ellie Hipkin, who uses paint and botanical treasures alongside free-motion embroidery and hand stitching to create flowing works on fabric. Make pretty pastel decorations for the home using egg-boxes, including a cascading mobile and a sculpted wreath, and brighten up an apple crate to make a roomy container for houseplants.

Britain's rich heritage

Explore streets of honeyed stone in the small Northamptonshire market town of Oundle, where history abounds at every turn. Walk along pathways at the edge of Bodmin Moor past relics steeped in myth and legend, and discover the secret world that flourishes within the hedgerows.
