Scything basics: let's make hay!

Learn how to cut grass and weeds without the need of a noisy fossil fuel burning lawnmower or strimmer

This practical day course will cover how to use and maintain a scythe (a traditional mowing tool) and provide you with the skills and knowledge needed to mow anything from a small lawn to a meadow.

During the course we'll make hay the traditional way to encourage wild flowers in the meadow.

Tea and cake provided, participants must be 12+.

Concessions available for EDDC tenants, please contact the Countryside team.
