his week Bunny is in the garden with Tim Hart.

Tim switched from a nine year long banking career to starting a hotel in 1979. Now his world famous hotel, Hambleton Hall in Rutland,  is renown  for its superb cuisine – it has held a Michelin star since 1982, for 44 years, the longest of any restaurant in the UK. Tim gained this just 3 years after opening, while AA Gill’s brother, Nick Gill, was head chef. 

The gardens Tim has created, which overlook Rutland Water, are also exceptional. Tim explains how they altered them to give them year round appeal and how he prunes his stunning cloud pruned cork oak, climbing the trees himself in order to do it. 

See the video ‘Fabulous Food, Fabulous Garden’ on Bunny’s YouTube channel where she chats to Tim and the Head Gardener Rob.
