The final meadow cut marks an important moment in the gardening year. 🌾

By leaving the cut grass on the ground for a few days, we give seeds the chance to disperse naturally, helping the meadow renew itself year after year. The grass is then gathered and stored before being added to our compost system, where it will continue its journey back into the garden.

This particular plant is a type of vetch, which is common in the meadows at Nunnington.

Special thanks to Gardener Nick for stopping to share what he knows! 🌱

Meet Craig and Francis.

Here are three facts.

1. They visited the exhibition and had a great day leading workshops, signing books, and exploring the hall and gardens.
2. They found cake.
3. There are only three weeks left to visit Fixing Fairytales with Gina Kaminski at Nunnington Hall!

Thanks so much to Craig (the author) and Francis (the illustrator) for visiting and sharing some of Gina's adventures with us!

Don't miss your chance to see the exhibition before it ends on 6 September.

Did somebody say 'Meet the Creators'?

That definitely got Gina and Wolf's attention!

Don't forget that there is a Meet the Creators event with Craig Barr-Green and Francis Martin on Monday 10 August at Nunnington Hall! Join in the fun with a creator-led workshop, fairytale trail around the garden, and exhibition in the gallery spaces. There will be books available to purchase and have signed as well!

Will we see you there?

No need to book ahead, but standard admission does apply.

Gina has stepped out of the pages of her story into the gardens at Nunnington Hall... and it looks like Wolf is hiding nearby!

Come and join us on Monday 10 August for a meet-and-greet event with Gina's creators, Craig Barr-Green and Francis Martin, to learn a bit about the inspiration behind Gina's adventures.

There will be copies of the books available to purchase and have signed, too!

Can't make it Monday? No problem! You can still help Gina Fix Fairytales until 6 September.
