  • “Karen's second workshop week was keenly anticipated by locals and over 100 people attended.  Her skill at being able to adapt to all abilities meant everyone took something away regardless of talent or age.  Others have taken the challenge to further their skills by attending workshops with Naturally Useful”

    Kate from Boat of Garten Wildlife Group.

  • What a brilliant afternoon - so well explained and I felt encouraged and given the skills to be creative. Amy had so much patience and is a great tutor. There was a buzz to this workshop.

    Helen Turner who made a willow fence panel.

  • Thanks so much for a fantastic day. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and learned a new skill for life! Will definitely be back for more classes!
