About the Event
Everything you need to know about scything and more, gathered together into a one day training. Learn about the scythe and its parts, how to set it up, how to maintain it, and how to use it to cut grass, scrub, fields, gardens, pathways, allotments, in fact any place you might have thought to use a strimmer, to keep your green space managed and tidy.
Scything is rapidly becoming more popular as a way to maintain lawns and meadows. Conservation charities and gardening groups, as well as individuals, are all getting on board with this traditional tool. With their light weight and ease of use, many people find scythes are an ideal substitute for powered machines.
