Adam Jefferies reviewed: Scything Course

"What a great course! We learnt some of the history of scything, the benefits of scything as opposed to strimming for both well-being and nature, and a well rounded practical session with technique and tool set-up and maintenance. Danny and Helene were also very willing to talk about meadow cuts, frequency and timings for both conservation and hay collecting. I couldn't recommend this course more!"

Anne Proctor reviewed: Hedgelaying workshop

"Really enjoyed the course and learned a lot! Danny and Helene were brilliant - really knowledgeable and patient. They really know their stuff! I have so much respect for hedge layers - it's hard work!! But the day was fun - and what a fabulous location!!"
