🌼 From lawn to little wildlife haven...

When we arrived here in September 2023, this was just a regularly mown patch of grass.

I'd always wanted to create a wildflower garden, but honestly had no idea where to begin! So in September 2024 we bought wildflower seeds from Goren Farm , Stockland, scattered them... and hoped for the best.

The winding path through the meadow has a special story too. It was inspired by a sketch drawn by one of our guests, who just happens to design wildflower gardens. We loved the idea and decided to bring it to life.

Fast forward to this summer, and it's wonderful to see the flowers appearing. Along with them have come bees, butterflies, hoverflies and all sorts of other little visitors. 🐝🦋

It's still very much a work in progress, but that's part of the fun. We're excited to see how it changes and grows over the coming years.

If you're staying with us this summer, take a wander through and see what you can spot!

🌸 Nature doesn't happen overnight... but it's definitely worth the wait.

❤️ Sometimes the best part of running a B&B isn't just providing a place to stay—it's the wonderful people we meet along the way.

A lovely guest who stayed with us over the weekend remembered a conversation we had about the history of Chard. A few days later, this wonderful book, *Chard School: Three Centuries of History*, arrived in the post with a handwritten note.

We're incredibly touched by such a thoughtful gift. It has already found its place on our lounge bookshelf, where future guests can enjoy learning a little more about Chard's fascinating past.
