The 4th of May marks a very special day at Perch Hill, particularly this year - it’s 30 years since Sarah and Adam first arrived and started making history here.

Perch Hill looks so vastly different to how it began in 1994, as it’s taken shape over the decades, and in this week’s ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’ Sarah & Adam share stories from their time here so far, the many phases that Perch Hill has seen, and how the garden in particular has developed.

In this episode, learn:

• How Sarah discovered Perch Hill, and the charming experiences that endeared Adam to it
• The state in which Sarah & Adam found the garden, and first steps towards bringing it to life in the way that we all know and love today
• Balancing abundance with structure, and chaos with tidiness through a lens of biodiversity
