Join our Gentle Scything in the Meadow workshop — perfect for curious beginners, garden lovers, and anyone who wants to look epic while mowing grass the old-fashioned way. Why Scything?

• ✅ No noisy engines
• ✅ Surprisingly peaceful (and excellent for the arms!)
• ✅ Impress the grandkids
• ✅ Keep the wildlife safe & give them time to be noticed without a noisy strimmer blocking out their loud ‘I’m here!’ noises.
• ✅ And let’s be honest… it’s way cooler than a strimmer

What You’ll Learn:

• Anatomy of the scythe
• Setting up the scythe
• Mowing techniques
• Blade honing with a whet stone
• Meadow management
• Peening the blade using a jig
• Maintenance of the scythe and blade through the year
• Tips to avoid scything your foot (we’re joking… mostly)

No experience needed. All equipment provided, light refreshments In a beautiful local meadow
