What should I wear?

We recommend you wear comfortable, outdoor clothing and footwear. You may also wish to bring a pair of gloves, to protect your hands and your own secateurs if you have them. However, don't worry we will have some spare gloves and secateurs for you to use on the day if you don't have your own.

If you prefer to work from a tabletop this is possible when using the 4ft jig.

We do have shelter within a Polly Tunnel that we can move to if the weather turns wet.
