ANOTHER BATCH OF COURSES HATCHES OUT :-)

PRACTICAL WORKSHOPS FOR CRAZY TIMES
It's brilliant that our courses - all centred around the nuts and bolts of everyday sustainable living - have been so busy, building up over the last couple of years. It's great for me too that pretty much all the practical experience I've picked up over the years is now so relevant in our crazy times.

SHED MAKING SKILLS COURSE

There's obviously not enough sheds in the area... this course sold out twice really quickly so I've set up another date for it SHED MAKING SKILLS 22nd/23rd FEB 25

** BRAND NEW COURSE ** MAKE YOUR OWN WORKTABLE **
This is another whole weekend course, students will make their own worktable to take home with them, all materials supplied, an improved version of the 2x trestle and top set up which has been so versatile and useful over the years at Perth Community Farm and at Inverquiech, strong but light enough to pop in the back of the car. Course cost of £279 includes all new quality wood for everyone: WORKTABLES 8th/9th MARCH 25

SHED MAKING SKILLS - LINKS AND STUFF

SHED MAKING SKILLS - new course at Perth Community Farm

This was a brilliant weekend - great to see people without much experience working together to make a sound structure - then feeling competent to start planning and building their own sheds and extra rooms. Well done everyone!

!! EXCELLENT FOOD GROWING OPPORTUNITY IN THE HIGHLANDS !!

There's a fantastic opportunity for someone to takeover and develop what is currently a market garden at Tombreck Farm at Loch Tay - possibly into a community garden, CSA or  workers' co-op. 

I know this farm and the wonderful people living and working in this very beautiful neck of the woods as I did lots of voluntary work there some years ago: Ian's Eco Blog - Tombreck.

Here's a bit more about the current garden - there's contact details on there for Sue Manning who can give you more information.
