Plant Support Workshop
Join Lorraine for a half-day or full-day, outdoor craft workshop and make a selection of plant supports you can be proud of! The workshop is set within the picturesque location of Birtley Woodland Art Space. We will use Willow or Hazel to create our plant supports, a large majority of these materials are coppiced and harvested locally.
