Derek reviewed: Hurdle Making (Split Hazel)

"This was a fantastic course! Mark's teaching was calm and thorough, explaining and demonstrating every stage of the construction of a traditional hurdle. Mark's enthusiasm to teach his craft and huge knowledge made this a great hands on learning experience. Money well spent!"

Debbie reviewed: Make a Pole Lathe/Shaving Horse

"Loved it! I just need more spare time now, to make all the things I’d like to make. Please can you move closer to East Kent, so I don’t have to drive so far! Had a lovely welcome from Arthur each day and loved Beth’s cookies and cake. Loved the course and the weather was perfectly planned too! Thank you"

Sue reviewed: Apple Tree Pruning - Summer

"I would like to thank Amanda, John & Mike for an excellent course & what a delightful way to spend a sunny summer day! It was an added bonus to have the apple pressing & juice to drink at lunch time. The theory of pruning was explained & demonstrated clearly & I now feel confident to tackle both winter & summer pruning. I hope u will continue to run these courses & I will certainly recommend them."
