We’re just back from a brilliant Suffolk Show and wanted to share a couple of lovely bits of news connected to the local area.
Huge congratulations to Zac, the beekeeper who keeps his hives on the estate and sells his honey in the shop – he won 1st prize at the Suffolk Beekeepers Association Honey Show! We also use Zac’s honey in some of our Roots Café recipes, so we’re especially chuffed for him and can vouch for it tasting delicious!
And a big well done to Rougham School’s Year 6 Head Gardeners, who were awarded a Silver Gilt in the Schools Garden Competition. There were 16 schools involved and some strong entries, so this is a fantastic result. We’d donated a few gardening tools to the school club a couple of years ago so it’s lovely to know they have been put to good use.
Such a great effort all round. Makes us very proud.

If you’ve been to the Estate you will know we have lots of woodland with a remarkable collection of ancient and veteran oak and lime trees.
Many of these trees are hollow, with branches reaching down to the ground, showcasing their impressive age. They play a crucial role as habitats for thousands of species.
Currently, we’re conducting a survey to explore the diverse wildlife that inhabits these trees, including those near Blackthorpe Barn. We look forward to sharing the results with you this autumn! So watch this space!
