Hands on Gardening Learning Holidays
Hands on learning holidays are designed to be fun as well as educational.
The main attraction may be gardening or allotmenting teaching and learning,
or simply getting away from it all and enjoying the fresh air, a tranquil
environment and gentle activity.
East Kent is surrounded by wonderful countryside, and many places of historical
interest. There is an abundance of things to do and places to visit
as well as a wide choice of traditional pubs and eating places.
We offer two to five nights in self catering or bed and breakfast accommodation. There
is plenty to do on the field and in the polytunnel every month of the year.
However, for pleasure as well as practical learning the months of April to
September are recommended.
Small groups of four to eight people will be catered for so that hands-on
tuition is one to one and your learning holiday will be fruitful.
Lunch will be part of the package, made up as far as possible from our own
Green & Local produce. Weather permitting it will be taken outdoors.
A glass of local wine from the nearby Barnsole
vineyard will be an option
to fruit juice.
As many or as few hours practical work each day will be accommodated to
suit. For some people a half day hands on and the other half
day exploring East Kent will be attractive. Others may wish to work longer
and harder - this will not be discouraged!
Prices range from £50 to £80 per person per day depending on
size of party and choice of accommodation and catering.
