It has been wet during February and getting around the Holkham Walled Garden to work on the new produce garden has meant negotiating a mud bath. Holkham Gardener Steven Barnes is busy with the pressure hose getting the vehicles and equipment shipshape. Gardener Glenn Joyce is behind him.
Temperatures are sub zero but Glenn Joyce, gardener in the Holkham Walled Garden is keeping warm before 8am splitting logs for the wood store with Jonathan Taylor, Deputy Head Gardener. Later in the day they set up the mechanical log splitter that works from the tractor.
