This course is being offered in partnership with the National Botanic Garden of Wales and is fantastic opportunity to get to grips with plants, wildlife, soils, gardens, construction tips for horticulture, tools, design, permaculture and more.
It is a free course, part of the Growing The Future program and will be taking place at Pen Dinas every Tuesday 9.30 – 1.00 for 22 weeks. We are encouraging participants to attend all the modules but it is fine to join in even if you have missed the first few sessions. Places are limited so first come first served.
We are really excited to be inviting Richard Stephenson, carpenter and designer who will be introducing us to wood working by hand to make garden furniture, benches and more; Amanda Dean, herbalist and wild life enthusiast will be telling more about herbs and wildlife; Pete Williams form Red Dragon Bush-craft will be teaching knife sharpening and maintenance as well as fire craft; Bruce Stanley from Fine Pluck herbal teas will be leading on wild food foraging and Beryl Smith leading tutor in willow weaving and living structures. There will be sessions on Permaculture design led by Get-Growing’s Steve Jones and on Horticulture by Emma Maxwell, also part of the Get Growing team at Pen Dinas
