They are growing a range of delicious fruits and vegetables which they will sell directly from the farm as well as supplying local village shop\, pub and school. \nMilo and Rory are propagating and keeping seeds from plants that perform the best to ensure strength and resilience in future crops. By feeding the soil with manure from neighbouring stables and “worm juice” from their wormery as well using a variety of mulching materials they are keeping the soil rich and abundant with life.” \n  \nEthical Boconnoc venison will be served at this event. \nFallow deer have roamed the Boconnoc deer park since the 17th Century and are an important part of the history of the estate. \nToday the herd are managed by our Deer Ranger and Environmental Consultant Ian Berry. \nOnce considered to be the preserve of the rich\, the meat is now readily available at affordable prices for all to enjoy and is one of the most sustainable meats that you can buy.  \nUsing our own venison for events and weddings means zero food miles and helps us to tread more lightly on the earth.  \nThe UK has extremely high standards in relation to deer management\, as well as legal protections which ensures that our deer are humanely culled. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Die wise with Stephen Jenkinson - A day-long workshop
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to welcome Stephen Jenkinson to Boconnoc this summer for a one day workshop. \nKnown as a master of storytelling\, over the years\, Stephen has worked extensively with dying people and their families\, is a former programme director in a major Canadian hospital\, and a former assistant professor in a prominent Canadian medical school. \nStephen is also a sculptor and traditional canoe builder whose house won a Governor General’s Award for architecture. \nDuring this talk\, Stephen will be walking you through his award-winning book\, ‘Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity & Soul’ which is focused on grief\, dying and the great love of life.  \nDie Wise does not offer seven steps for coping with death. It does not suggest ways to make dying easier. It pours no honey to make the medicine go down. Instead\, with lyrical prose\, deep wisdom\, and stories from his two decades of working with dying people and their families\, Stephen Jenkinson places death at the centre of the page and asks us to behold it in all its painful beauty.  \nWe look forward to seeing you for what will undoubtedly be an inspiring and spiritually stimulating conversation by Stephen.  \nThe talk will take place in the Stable yard at Boconnoc and there will be time between sessions to explore the beautiful grounds of the estate.  \n  \nRead more about Stephen Jenkinson’s work on his website.  \nTo purchase his book Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul \n ahead of the talk\, please see the Amazon link here. \nBUY TICKETS HERE \n  \n \n  \nWe do not have facilities on site for lunch so you will need to bring something with you for the day. We will however be providing a tea and coffee station which will be available throughout the day.  \nTransport Information: \nLostwithiel train station is a 10 minute drive away\, or 45 minute cycle\, with lots of hills \nLiskeard train station is a 20 minute drive away \nWe have parking available on site for guests. \nThere is no accommodation available on the estate on this date unfortunately\, however if you are coming from out of town please find a few recommendations below which are nearby to the estate; \nBrean Park Farm \nChy Bownder Cottage \nUnique rustic hideaway

SUMMARY:EXPLORE THE SOUNDS OF BOCONNOC AT NIGHT
DESCRIPTION:Explore the meadows and woodland valleys of Boconnoc at dusk into the evening\, as we have the pleasure of being treated to a guided walk by ecologist and ornithologist Robbie Phillips. \nDusk is when many of the creatures living on the estate wake up and you can hear the screeches and calls of our nocturnal animals as they head out on their evening hunt. We will hope to hear tawny owls and possibly barn owls as well as listening to bats using a special bat detector. \nWe are delighted to be welcoming Robbie back for a second year\, to host this event. As part of the evening’s agenda\, we will also have a hands-on experience with moths\, setting a moth light ( harmless to moths ) at the start of the evening to see what has come in by dark. This will give everyone the chance to see some of the beautiful species we have at Boconnoc.  \nRead our interview with Robbie here to learn more about him\, his love of nature and his night walks. \nThis is a rare opportunity to explore the private grounds of Boconnoc which are not usually open to the public. Alongside this you will be treated to expert knowledge from ecologist Robbie Phillips. A truly wonderful experience for nature lovers. \n \nA lovely testimonial from last year’s guided tour with Robbie; \n“Just back from their Guided Bird Walk which was absolutely lovely. A small group of us were taken around Boconnoc’s beautiful parkland guided by Robbie\, an expert ornithologist who explained all the bird songs we heard along the way… it was a really interesting evening!” \nAdditional information \nPlease note the walk will be approximately 1.5hours across 2.5km across varying and uneven terrain. We advise sensible footwear and wet weather clothes if raining.

SUMMARY:The joys of ‘No Dig’ - A gardening workshop by Charles Dowding
DESCRIPTION:This September we are excited to be welcoming gardener and author Charles Dowding to Boconnoc for an informative ‘No Dig’ Workshop in our beautiful estate. During an inspiring presentation in Boconnoc House\, Charles will show you how he has fine-tuned various no dig methods over the years. He will also be providing expert advice on succession planting\, multi-sowing\, pest reduction\, the use of fleece and mesh and propagation.  \nCharles is one of the most well known experts in the UK who specializes in no dig and he has been an advocate of the method since he first started growing vegetables back in 1981. In fact\, much of his career has been dedicated to teaching others about this approach\, both in the form of his books and successful YouTube channel.  \nThis method means you don’t disrupt the fragile soil life and the important microorganisms\, fungi and worms that help feed plant roots. It’s a fantastic way to avoid using harsh chemicals and toxic concoctions in your garden whilst also helping you save time and money. The technique is also great for beginners as you’ll have less chance of failure during harvesting due to the improved growing conditions of your soil and you don’t need to worry about re-digging your flower beds each year. \n \nThroughout the workshop you will have the chance to ask questions before we break for a delicious lunch.  \nAfterwards we will move into the Kitchen Garden so you can see how Stuart\, the Head Gardener at Boconnoc has been experimenting with Charles’ technique in the onsite kitchen garden. Charles will demonstrate how to make a no dig bed on weedy grass. As a group we’ll then look at different parts of the garden as we see these techniques in action\, including compost making.  \nIf you would like to learn more about growing all kinds of vegetables productively\, healthily and more easily join us for this inspiring day with Charles. We look forward to seeing you in September. \nLunch:  \nHomemade lunch will be cooked by our wonderful housekeeper Kay Bolitho using local fresh ingredients as well as produce from the Kitchen Garden. This will be served in our beautiful Garden room which has views stretching over the parkland. If you have dietary requirements or allergies please let us know. \nTickets are £140 to include workshop (£115) and two course lunch (£25) \nBUY TICKETS HERE \nParking is available on site. \nAccommodation is also available on site – please contact stay@boconnoc.com for details.
