Since we started building a cabin 5 years ago, to stone walling, to small sheds, to installing decking our outdoors hard landscaping workshops have been great fun and very popular!
So we are delighted to be offering our first five day comprehensive course honed to introduce hard landscaping, starting on April 30th 2026. It is based just above Poppit Sands, 2 miles from Cardigan in West Wales.
This fast moving, as ever hands on course, will introduce skills from building sheds, to log stores, to stone walling, to raised beds!
Come along and be inspired to envision and make full use of your outdoor space. Many women attending the one day Basic DIY skills workshops get really excited when they see the beautiful cabin, decked area, tools shed and walls that women, who were all beginners have built. Start dreaming of possibilities !
I love stone walling. I built my first substantial wall at 13! There is some methodology but its also guided by an instinct, how you want the wall to look and which stone to pick up next!
One woman who really got into it said, "This could be addictive"!
You'll start with a stone wall, move onto timber walls, decking and build a shed, or shelter! You'll transform a currently small area of the garden by the cabin!
As we make the new landscaped area we'll lighting fires and eat outdoors!
The workshop will support all skill levels, including beginners!
