---

Join us to weave sustainable willow birdfeeders in the Walled Garden and learn to weave two beautiful willow birdfeeders of your choice—a perfect way to care for your garden birds this winter!

The workshop is on Saturday 17th January 2026 10am – 4.00pm

Our overwintering birds can be particularly vulnerable at this time of year, and these handcrafted feeders, designed to hold fat balls, seeds, or nuts, will provide them with essential nourishment while adding rustic charm to your garden. 🦅🌺

This sustainable willow birdfeeders workshop is suitable for beginners and those with experience alike, as local willow artist, Heather will guide you through the various practical weaving processes involved. You will also visit our Salley garden, weather permitting, and learn how the willow is grown, cut and processed so please dress accordingly
