In the summer our lovely willow hens had a revamp, and are looking splendid in their new outfits. Now our firepit has had a make over too, thanks to our talented friends at Sylvan Skills. The old willow fencing has been replaced with hazel to make a more robust screen from the elements. Our nature garden fence also got a bit of attention with some living willow added to the bower and a beautifully woven willow gate. Usually this kind of work would be carried out with the children but due to Covid 19 restrictions obviously that wasn’t possible this year. However the children were delighted with the improvements and got straight to work laying out logs and wood chipping the floor of the fire pit ready to get cooking soon. A big thank you to Ruth and her team.
