getting ready for the workshops...

...  Today I was following the tree surgeon, Luke Taylor and his team while he cut down a (very) large, overgrown eucalyptus tree and cut some hedges near here.  They were very kind, allowing me to follow them around like a little dog, taking choice bits of lovely fresh foliage and stuffing them in the boot of my car, while they swished around with their chainsaws.  It was a hard hat sort of a day...


I collected some lovely materials which we will be using at the greengarland wreathmaking workshops which begin on 27th November.  There are a few places left on the course on Saturday the 4th December at The University of Bristol Botanic Gardens.  For further information contact The Courses Administrator on 
or check out the link via  http://www.bristol.ac.uk/Depts/BotanicGardens/about/education.htm#7.  

Here's  one that I made with some of the foliage today.  Just a bit of string and some lovely eucalyptus. 



Thanks again to Luke.  No koala bears were harmed while making this wreath....

  1. Perhaps you could arrange for some koalas to sit and quietly chew at the Botanic Gardens workshops...
