Jemima’s Kitchen Garden will also come to life with a series of relaxed summer masterclasses for hotel residents. It will give guests the chance to get hands-on in the garden, meet the people behind the produce, and enjoy a taste of something freshly picked, mixed, baked or made.
Masterclasses are for hotel residents only and are £45 per person (Minimum 6 guests).
Masterclasses are limited to 12 guests, with larger private bookings available on request. Experiences are for guests aged 18 and over.
Designed as an immersive journey, our plot-to-plate experience invites you to discover the garden from soil to table. For groups booked as part of a conference or event at The Grove, we offer two experiences:
Enjoy an intimate dinner in the garden where vegetables and herbs take centre stage on the menu.
Masterclasses
Join our expert chefs, gardeners, and mixologists for hands-on sessions from fire-baked flatbread workshops to garden-to-glass cocktail masterclasses and a live-fire robata experience.
Led by our Head Gardener, Tash and her team, Jemima’s Kitchen Garden is carefully nurtured to support wildlife at every level. Wildlife plays an essential role, from bees and butterflies moving among the blooms, to frogs and toads sheltering in the cosy hibernaculums we have created for them. These carefully considered habitats help maintain the natural balance of our ecosystem, supporting biodiversity and encouraging nature to thrive. Bank Voles keep the garden buzzing as they weave between plants – by nurturing the soil and protecting local wildlife, we are able to bring the freshest grown ingredients straight to your plate.
