NEW WORKSHOP VOUCHERS - Make great gifts!

 

Give something a little different - Triangle Garden workshop vouchers come in a range of values: £10, £20 and £50 and can be used for any of our workshops, walks or talks - this year's programme will include workshops on hedgerow basketry, willow craft, fruit and veg growing, permaculture (low impact living) and wildlife.

Why not treat someone special?

Higher value vouchers can be split across several half day or evening workshops and lower value vouchers can be used for full day workshops on payment of the difference. All vouchers can be used in conjunction with our earlybird discounts for even better value! Terms and Conditions

In order to give everyone attending our workshops the best possible experience, we limit the number of places on each session. For this reason all workshop places must be booked in advance, whether payment is by voucher or cheque.
