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.

PRACTICAL SKILLS - COURSES SPRING 24

I've been developing a range of courses over the last few years to show people the practical skills that are really helpful whether you want to live more sustainably, be more self-sufficient, grow some food or just generally want to live life with a closer connection to the natural world. I pack a lot into these courses and make them light-hearted and fun too :-) They're all at great venues where you can see many different aspects of sustainable living in action. Coming up soon:

DRAWING SCALE PLANS made easy - and fun :-) 
at Cottage Three, Bridge of Earn, Saturday 11th May, 10.30am to 2.30pm

GARDENING FOR BEGINNERS AT PERTH COMMUNITY FARM - March and April 2024

Charlotte Arno and I are putting on two gardening courses at Perth Community Farm - they really are for complete beginners! We'll go over everything you need to know to get started on your gardening adventure, growing healthy tasty food, reducing food miles and waste, and opening up a little window into the wonderful workings of Nature on your back door step.

MORE WOODINESS AT INVERQUIECH

FINALLY!.... after all the recent rain and flooding, and having to cancel one day and postpone another, we were able to put on a couple of brilliant woodworking courses at Inverquiech - a Basic Level One and a Woodcarving and Shaping course. 

Inverqueich is a great venue for our sustainable living events as people can see how all the stuff they learn fits into the bigger practical picture of living more lightly on our dear old planet home. 

A simple frame - but with nicely square-cut corners - great work for more or less beginners
