Enjoy the beauty and diversity of the British garden and its plants. You’ll find inspiration and advice as we invite you into gardens where nature and nurture flourish.

Every issue has tempting recipes that make the most of the season’s produce. You’ll find new ways to enjoy traditional favourites for every meal.

You can create beautiful decorations using seasonal flowers and foliage. Follow our step-by-step guides to creating simple crafts for home and garden.

The dawning of the year inspires and renews as the months stretch ahead full of promise and hope. With guests welcomed to the annual celebrations, tear and share bread in delicious sweet and savoury combinations is guaranteed to bring everyone together, while bowls of warming salads transform a summer staple, and a creamy dessert favourite is given a fresh twist. As friends gather, a stately gent – the grandfather clock – chimes to remind everyone of the passing of time, and displays of cherished treasures spark memories of days gone by.

With winter at its zenith, the countryside is bright and crisp while the garden slumbers under a thick white carpet. Wrapped within the embracing walls of an elegant hidden garden, neat lines of maple trees and topiary spirals are dusted with snow. Despite the chill, the spidery petals of witch hazel bring warming colour and unexpected perfume in a glorious National Collection, while, in contrast, the papery seedheads of honesty appear pale and pearlescent in indoor arrangements that are almost ethereal. Air plants can also be elevated in simple coppery coiled holders as if they are floating weightless around the home.

The wise face of a characterful bird is simply made from pompoms of soft yarn as, swooping low in flight across frozen fields, the Short-eared owl can be spotted hunting in daylight hours in January, with its piercing yellow eyes. Under pale skies, it is also the perfect season to explore the charming estuary town of Woodbridge in Suffolk and discover its maritime heritage and landmark mill at the waterside.

Celebrate the rich flavours of the season with this delectable recipe for a creamy pumpkin and Stilton soup. So much more than jack-o'-lanterns, this easy-to-follow recipe makes the most of pumpkin flesh once your ghoulish pumpkin design has been carved, bringing seasonal warmth and comfort in a bowl. It will not only tantalise your taste buds but also make the kitchen smell like a cosy, autumn haven.

In a large saucepan, heat the butter and sauté the pumpkin chunks, onion and garlic for 10 mins. Add the curry powder, then stir in the vegetable stock and sprigs of thyme. Bring the mixture to the boil, then cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 mins.

Remove the thyme, then puree the soup in a blender and return to the pan. Add the milk and heat gently. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the soup with a swirl of double cream and crumbled Stilton on top.

Indulge your senses with our delectable recipe for blackberry cheesecake brownies. These delightful treats combine the rich, chocolatey goodness of brownies with the creamy, tangy allure of cheesecake and a burst of sweet, tart blackberry flavour. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a novice in the kitchen, this step-by-step guide will help you create a heavenly dessert that will impress your family and friends.

175g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing

Preheat the oven to 170°C/150°C fan/gas mark 3½ and grease and line the baking tin with baking paper. In a microwaveable bowl, place half of the dark chocolate and half of the milk chocolate, and melt in the microwave for 1-1½ mins until the chocolate stirs smooth. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter and soft brown sugar for 1-2 mins, then stir in the almonds, 2 eggs, cocoa powder, salt and the melted chocolate. Stir in the remaining chopped chocolate and transfer to the prepared tray. Spread the mixture evenly over the entire tin.

In a food processor, blend all but 5 of the blackberries with the lemon juice and set aside. In a large jug or mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, double cream, remaining eggs and vanilla paste for 1-2 mins until thick. Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the chocolate batter in the baking tin, then drizzle over the blackberry puree. Stir the puree into the cream cheese mixture briefly, to create a swirl, and sprinkle with the reserved blackberries. Bake for 45-50 mins until the cheesecake mixture on top is set. Allow to cool completely in the tin, then leave to chill for 2 hrs. Cut into 12 pieces, and serve.

These ice cream lollies from the LandScape archive are sweet and refreshing, the perfect accompaniment on a hot, summer's day

Come rain or shine, visitors to the British seaside savour the delights of traditional ice cream lollies. Although a rudimentary form of the treat, using fermented milk, flour and camphor, was made as early as 618-970BC in China, the process of freezing food did not arrive in Europe until the early 1500s. In 1664, ices made with sweetened milk appeared in Naples, and in 1671, ‘iced cream’ was part of a banquet at Windsor Castle. However, it was only served to the guests on King Charles II’s table. As demand grew, the wealthy collected ice in winter from lakes and stored it under straw in ice houses. A wooden ice cream machine was introduced in 1843 in England, and the first record of cones was in _Mrs Marshall’s Cookery Book_ of 1888.

### To make the no-churn vanilla ice cream {#h-to-make-the-no-churn-vanilla-ice-cream}

Click :a[here]{href='https://www.landscapemagazine.co.uk/cookery/summer/ecipe-homemade-vanilla-ice-cream/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'} to find the recipe for Land_Scape_ magazine's delicious homemade vanilla ice cream.

500ml :a[no-churn vanilla ice cream]{href='https://www.landscapemagazine.co.uk/cookery/summer/ecipe-homemade-vanilla-ice-cream/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'} mix, before the freezing stage

Make 500ml of the vanilla ice cream according the recipe found at the link above, but do not transfer to the freezing dish. Hull and slice the strawberries, and de-stone and chop the cherries and nectarine.

Line eight 100ml lolly moulds with the fruit. Pour in the ice cream mixture to the top, tapping the mould onto the surface to get rid of any air bubbles. Add a wooden lollipop stick to each, positioning it in the middle of the mould, then freeze overnight. To serve, sit the mould in a bowl of warm water for 1 min. Gently holding the stick, ease out the ice lollies from the mould.

An essential baking ingredient, butter enhances this delicious cake from the LandScape magazine archive, with its velvety smoothness and creamy flavour

Butter is a milk product, composed mainly of fat, but is also a rich source of vitamins. Public and scientific opinion is now changing in favour of butter consumption, providing it is done in moderation.

Its high saturated fat content can raise levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the ‘good’ cholesterol,  associated with a lower risk of heart disease.

It provides vitamins A, E, D and K2. Studies have shown that butter made from grass-fed cows has high amounts of healthy fatty acids.

The origins of butter go back approximately 10,000 years, when animals were first domesticated. Sailors in Elizabethan times were guaranteed ¼lb of butter a day in their rations, and it was an old English custom to present newlyweds with a pot of butter as a wish for fertility and prosperity.

300g softened unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing

Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4, and grease and line a loose-bottom 20cm square cake tin. In a large mixing bowl, cream the caster sugar into the butter for 3-4 mins, until creamy and smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then sift in the flour and fold into the mixture. Add the baking powder and double cream, and stir.

Transfer the mixture to the tin and level out to fit. Bake for 30-35 mins, until risen and golden and an inserted metal skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin, then place on a serving plate. Dust with icing sugar, using a sieve, before serving.
