Reviews on The Garden Station
More information
Description
The Garden Station opened in June 2000, founded by Jane Torday. Her working background is that of writer, researcher, gardener and bookseller. Ingrid Gifford, who previously worked for Northumbria in Bloom, assisted with the management of The Garden Station until 2005 and played a large part in its creation and development.In 2008 The Garden Station was taken over by Mike Winstanley, a former teacher who changed career to re-train as a vegetarian cook, gaining a Cordon Vert diploma from The Vegetarian Society. His vision for The Garden Station is to develop its community aspects, the indigenous and organic growing, and the 'eco-gastronomy' of the place. ('Eco-gastronomy' translates neatly as 'home cooking' - a nice and timely return to a more sustainable, tasty and seasonal way of eating out!) At the same time, all aspects of The Garden Station will continue - the courses, the art exhibitions, the plant sales and the cafés...and above all the peace of the place.
