Tresco Times 2024 Yearbook
Our annual intimate look at island life. Our views are clear...
The Tresco Times is our annual look at island life, celebrating the characters and appreciating the places that make this inimitable isle unique.
We discover how Abbey Garden Propagator Emma Lainchbury cultivated her dreams of working in Tresco's unique island garden, while islander Pete Locke tells the story of his secret village, hidden from view for almost 50 years.
We uncover how father-and-son team Jamie and Steve Parkes keep the island looking its best and how – for Steve at least – the story is quite literally one of poacher turned gamekeeper.
Over on St Agnes, fisherman Jof Hicks takes us beneath the waves to uncover the story of his zero-plastic, zero-emissions lobster fishery, while Grace and Aiden of Westward Farm reveal how a mother's passion for plants led to the creation of an island institution.
Closer to home, interior designer Tania Streeter takes us through the door of the brand-new Blockhouse Cottage, Hell Bay Head Chef Richard Kearsley divulges a few trade secrets, and artist Imogen Bone reflects on why she will always feel like an island girl…
