Sue reviewed: Plant Support Workshop (Willow Obelisk)

"Really enjoyed the course, thank you Lorraine! The location is lovely and although we were outside and the weather on the day was cold & wet, we were under cover and there was hot tea and cake to warm the soul. I made 2 small obelisks and my friend made 1 small obelisk and a larger one (which I declined on the day as I thought it would be too tall to fit into my car!). Lorraine gave clear obelisk-making instructions/help throughout and I can't wait now to put my new obelisks in my garden, with maybe clematis to grow up, once they've dried out a bit more. Excellent workshop, thank you :)"

"I enjoyed the day very much in this beautifully peaceful woodland setting creating completely new things from nature's resources. Lorraine is an excellent teacher with patience and guidance sharing her experience in a friendly manner which puts you at ease. I am so pleased with my willow creations which will always remind me of this special day. Thank you!"
