Would you like to make your balcony, garden or green space more beautiful and bird friendly at the same time?

Join us for a hands-on workshop that will walk you through the basics of weaving with willow to make a decorative willow bird feeder. With Meg, our gardener and accomplished willow weaver, you will have step-by-step instruction and be able to troubleshoot any issues you have along the way.

As the weather gets cooler and food options reduce slightly, fat balls can help wild birds to get the healthy fats and nutrients they need. This method of feeding is better in the winter months as fat balls also keep better in cooler temperatures. We will talk about the different nutrients that go into making a high quality fat ball and make a batch together. You will head home with a completed willow bird feeder and a fat ball that will sit inside it.

Details:

The event will run from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. Tickets are £30 and include all materials, tea and light refreshments. For more details and information on subsidised tickets, see our event page.
