Join us at Grow Wilder for an introduction to the traditional craft of hedgelaying. Lead by local hedge layer Mike Reed, this 1-day course will cover:
-Reasons we lay hedges
-The different styles of laid hedge (the course will focus on North Somerset style)
-The tools required and how to use them safely
-How to lay a tree using hand tools (billhook, axe, saw, etc)
-How to build a laid hedge and stake it
-Ongoing maintenance
This course will be predominantly a practical outdoors course and you should dress appropriately for bad weather.

Changes from previous years:
These days are always popular but based on feedback from attendees and tutors, we've decided to reduce the group size for each day - places are therefore limited and we won't be releasing any more for 2025.
