David Glass the head gardener at Bowood House shares advice on how to design a new border, we look at creating a welcome in the home with flowers and how a Salisbury cutting garden is blooming on an allotment; Claire Worthington shares her tips for being bold with wallpaper and we find out how to take the right steps when planning a new kitchen in a period property. Nick Fogg reveals why dedicated Marlborough GP, Dr Nick Maurice has been nominated for the Nobel peace prize. We have five top walks to spot wildlife across the county; Chris Cole takes a trip from A to Z along the old route of the A303; we look at the life of Celia Fiennes, Newton Toney’s forgotten pioneer of travel. Grant Berry from Yapp’s wine merchants raises a glass to rosé and we have a delicious recipe for Ricotta gnocchi and asparagus perfect for a summer supper with friends.
