Celebrated artist Richard Long has created a new sculpture that snakes through the Georgian Landscape Garden at Hestercombe Gallery in Somerset. Titled Jackdaw Line , the work is inspired by a love and celebration of the natural world, and is made using Morte Slate, with stone sourced from a nearby quarry. It’s part of Bampfylde 300 , a yearlong celebration of the life and work of Hestercombe’s former owner, the 18th-century painter and garden designer Coplestone Warre Bampfylde. The Gardens and Gallery are open Wednesday to Sunday, but you must pre-book your slot at hestercombe.com

Artist Isla Middleton has created a new range of beautiful and intricate seasonal foraging posters, designed to inspire and familiarise people with the wild plants we can forage on our doorsteps. Featuring leaves, berries, fruits and flowers, all of which are numbered and named at the foot of the print for easy reference, the lino-cut prints are made using vegetablebased, vegan inks on 100 per cent recycled and textured paper. Available in three seasonal designs – Spring, Summer and Autumn – the prints cost £18 each or £45 for all three. islamiddleton.co.uk
