Chickens, bantams, geese and guinea-fowl roam freely around our garden here and play an important role in how we manage the garden in an environmentally friendly way. They are much admired by our visitors.
On this half-day workshop John Cook will introduce you free-range poultry-keeping so that you can enjoy the birds as pets, for their eggs and as part of your sustainable gardening.
You will learn about the best poultry to buy, their housing and bedding, feed and water, reducing pests and protection from predators. You will also have the chance to meet our lovely flock of rare breeds in the garden.
