Hilary Duff has earned the right to be a little particular, and she’s not apologizing for it. Duff may be a busy mom of three (soon to be four—she announced that she was expecting in December), but she still carves out space to curate an atmosphere that works for her, even if that curation happens once the kids are off to school.

Common juniper (Juniperus communis) is one of only three conifers native to the UK. It’s a member of the cypress family and grows on chalk or limestone in lowland areas, and moors, woodland and cliffs in northern Britain. Juniper is in decline in wild populations and has been designated a UK Biodiversity Action Plan priority species. This special tree has disappeared from several areas in the south of England. Many remaining colonies are so small that they’re considered functionally extinct. Scotland is now the stronghold for 80 per cent of the UK’s juniper trees.

We invited guests to celebrate the end of winter at the famous Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, a Belmond Hotel, in February 2024. Guests enjoyed a day of winter fun and luxury with a micro-herb seed-sowing workshop, expert cookery demo, champagne reception, a lavish three-course, Michelin-starred lunch, and a visit from a very special guest.
