We hope the spring issue of the National Trust Magazine will inspire you to enjoy all that the season has to offer across the Trust. 

We start by celebrating the beauty of blossom and share how a new project aims to plant circles of blossoming trees across the country. Hear the stories behind five special objects in the Trust’s collections which feature in a new book, discover how 20th-century Castle Drogo in Devon has finally been made watertight for the first time, and be inspired to grow your own herbs in our food feature ‘A pinch of magic’.
