Give the gift of a wonderful rural experience for Christmas

Most of the courses take place in the orchards and buildings at Brogdale and are delivered by friendly, knowledgeable specialists.

Sara Smile from Brogdale says: “Christmas shopping is going to be tricky for everybody this year. Although the temptation may be to shop on-line, we would ask people to please support local organisations. By buying our courses, passes or gift vouchers, shoppers are supporting an important charity too. We have a terrific line-up of courses for 2021 and they would make the perfect Christmas present for anyone who loves to learn something new. All vouchers and passes are presented in attractive Brogdale gift cards.”

Brogdale’s schedule of courses includes:

• Working with willow
• Introduction to gardening
• Cider making
• Bee keeping
• Hedgerow wine making
• Spring and autumn Foraging walks
• Winter and summer pruning
• Elderflower cordial making

Sara continues: “Another great gift idea from Brogdale Collections is our Orchard Pass. It only costs £13.50 for an adult and offers year around access to the unique orchards at Brogdale which are home to the National Fruit Collections and contain the largest collections of temperate fruits in the world.”

Details of all the courses at Brogdale, along with information on their Orchard Passes and gift vouchers, can be found on the Charity’s website www.brogdalecollections.org/gifts-vouchers
