Make your own woven lawn and border edging!
Spring is such a lovely time of year, if you are a keen gardener you will be watching the weather forecast and taking every opportunity to get outside and into the garden to tackle the jobs this season brings!
Wattle Hurdle Workshop
Would you like to learn to make your very own Woven Hazel or Willow Hurdles to edge your lawn or frame your borders this year?
Join one of our Saturday workshops at Priory Farm, South Nutfield to learn the traditional skill of Wattle Hurdle Making. You will make your hurdle in a jig rather than in situ, we have both long and short jigs to suit different lengths of hurdles required.
With a new skill under your belt you can make hurdles of varying heights and lenghths. You may also wish to try different styles of weaving or even make your hurdle in situ as seen in the photo below:

Would you like to gift your Mum an “Experience” she won’t forget for #MothersDay? Our Obelisk Workshops cost £40 for 2.5 hrs and take place in three beautiful locations Priory Farm, Knights Garden Centres, Gate Street Barn.
The workshop will begin by making a mini-obelisk suitable for supporting and proteching the initial growth of sweet peas in a pot, this will allow her to practise the technique of weaving using Willow. Following this your Mum will move on to create a full size Obelisk using both Hazel and Willow, creating a unique plant support for the garden!
