Visitors return time and time again - often just to relax as B&B guests.

As well as workshops and family weeks, we teach skills for sustainable living: permaculture, eco-building, 'green' technologies, sustainable land use and environmental crafts.

Restoration project launched

Restoring the house and walled garden
house and garden
We've started a programme of restoration projects here at Monkton Wyld Court. This will include much needed structural repairs as well as improvements to the interior of the grade II listed house.

Work has already started to restore the organically managed Victorian walled garden. If you would like to help with this programme, we are always in need of volunteers and this is a great way to learn new skills.

Organic gardening weeks

Organic gardening weeks
garden volunteers
Land-use managers George and Patsy are planning a series of organic gardening weeks where people can come and learn practical skills in organic food production. Food security is becoming more of an issue and we want to encourage more people to grow their own food, with what resources they may have. During these practical, residential weeks, you'll have plenty of time to get down in the soil and plant, prune, harvest and, of course, taste wonderful organic food.

The weeks cost £50 to cover your room and board. This isn't a conventional course, instead you will learn by doing, experiencing and discovering. George and Patsy will guide you through the week, giving daily talks and demonstrations and they will be on hand to answer your questions throughout the day. For anyone who lives locally, we are also hosting weekly gardening days each Thursday. This is a great way to be involved in the garden restoration project, meet lots of lovely new people and improve your gardening skills in the process. Contact us on 01297 560342 to find out more.
