| Are you interested in finding out more about wildlife gardening? Jenny runs one day and longer residential wildlife gardening courses in many parts of the country. A course in wildlife gardening can be an ideal way of learning more about this way of managing your garden and meeting like-minded people. You can chose between a group day in a variety of venues or one to one day with Jenny on her own. As dates and venues are confirmed for 2008, the information will be added to this page. | |||
One day group courses at The Crib, South Shropshire There will be a series of wildlife gardening courses, for small groups and for individuals, in the garden here at The Crib, near Ludlow in South Shropshire during the Summer 2008. These will cover general wildlife gardening, plus more specialist days on making meadows, butterfly gardening, wildflower gardening and making wildlife ponds. The days will be informative, relaxing and fun. The cost includes lunch using produce from the organic vegetable plot at The Crib, afternoon tea in the meadow (weather permitting!), all other refreshments and a course pack of information, wildflower seeds, free samples and catalogues, plus one of Jenny's books relevant to your course. These groups courses will cater for small numbers (a maximum of 6 people) and can be booked as gifts for friends and family.

The workshop is entitled Wildlife and Sensory Gardening and during the morning session participants will learn about planting for wildlife in school grounds and the range of advice/ support materials and grants available. This workshop will give those involved in the education of Key stage 1 and 2 children and those with special educational needs, the knowledge, ideas and confidence to plan and use a sensory garden and enhance school grounds for wildlife. |
