"Hi Sarah, I loved the garden workshop today. A full day that was so well planned and paced. The excellent group tuition and close individual attention is a perfect mix. Your bubbly personality made the whole experience such fun and I loved the snippets of the history of willow work which you included. The lunch was great too, and such amazingly good value. I will definitely recommend you to friends and hope to come back myself. Thank you." Judi, July ‘25, Garden Basket workshop.
