Learn to weave a woven wattle fence from professional gardener Jim Long. This workshop will weave construction instruction and hands-on experience in identifying and harvesting the natural materials from our own lush woods and transforming them into a functional work of art. Workshop participants will work together in smaller groups to construct sections of wattle fencing which will be used on our grounds to provide a beautiful natural enclosure to our play area for our youngest students. Upon completion of the fencing sections, Mr. Long will instruct attendees in the creation of other objects which may be planted in your own garden. Be prepared to work. Please dress for the weather as we will be working outdoors. Work gloves and loppers, pruners and a pruning saw will be useful tools for participants to bring.
