Courses & Workshops 2012

All courses take place partly in the gardens...

...and partly in our fabulous yurt classroom.

 

You can now buy a personalised Merryweathers Course Gift Voucher. Just book in the usual way, but state that this is a gift and tell us the name of the person it’s for and we will send you a gift voucher made out to them. Or if you prefer, we can send it directly to them with a note to say who it’s from. And there’s no extra charge.
