Meeting earlier than usual, Ed and Emma had to wait 10 minutes for Jo, Maria and Sam who were running late for this first woodworking session at Thorlands Gardens.
Simon had organised the equipment and the tools to show us how to create five frames that would turn into netted frames for when we plant young leafy greens and herbs in the Wild Garden to deter birds and the foxes from attacking it.
After going through some basics with the saw and the drill, everyone had a go at sawing the planks in half before we got on with drilling nails to secure and shape the frames. After doing two frames, Simon took Ed and Sam away to plant nettle, Foxgloves, long leaf plantain and spearmint in the Wild Garden.
During this time, the girls had finished the three remaining frames. So, with ten minutes to spare we called it there.
There will be more woodworking workshops as we look to build the stage area and re-build a standing bed in the Walled Garden.
