Renovating the Cold Frames

During August the volunteer team and staff sanded and painted the cold frames in the Walled Garden.  There are wood repairs to be made but they are already looking bright and cheerful. September 1st 2011 and Jim and Jonathan are carefully and patiently replacing cleaned glass panels using the original method of hand made copper inserts and putty.

The Holkham Walled Garden covers six and a half acres so every restoration is on a huge scale.
