Take a peek at this blog post which will show you a few different ways to use Blackberries to make some colour popping artwork (and hopefully a mess too)

It’s that time of the year again, BLACKBERRIES. For us, it is a wonderful time to take groups of children out to master the skill of picking and have a tasty bite as we go 😋

Number 4. Texture boards to go on a baby garden fence. Planning to extend this to make trails and mazes

[Snapdragons Forest @snap_forest]

We bought a 1/4 ton of Oak planks… what shall we do with them? @Muddyfaces @cosydirect @snapdragonsltd RT and let’s get some ideas flowing!

Number 3. Making a mini Oak town

@MuddyKneesFS @Muddyfaces In any case always go for a curved blade rather that straight and look for irregular gaps between the teeth as generally they’ll be designed specifically for green wood

[Snapdragons Forest @snap_forest]

@MuddyKneesFS @Muddyfaces I’d recommend an ARS CT-32E https://t.co/Lm6MeVaaxU I love mine… plus you can always tell people loud and proud that you have an ars saw 🤔

@MuddyKneesFS Definitely keen for this @snapdragonsltd let’s keep an eye on how this develops! If you need a workshop leader just holler my way 🌳

The sun rays through the trees were truly welcomed this morning as we got our fingers messy. Clay, charcoal, dandelions, lavender, moss - the opportunities were endless. #messyhands #splat #bigcanvas

[Snapdragons Forest @snap_forest]

After a steep learning curve and a small amount of head scratching we finished the fence. We’re already reflecting on improvements we could make for the next one… and there will be more.

[Snapdragons Forest @snap_forest]

We were asked to make a fence for a bug hotel and bird feeder space @snapweston. Inspired by seeing newly laid hedgerows and using bamboo cut from the garden we made the rustic border. What do you think @Muddyfaces?

[Snapdragons Forest @snap_forest]

It was a pancake kind of day today. We watched, we ate, we fired! #ShroveTuesday

✍️ A new blog is up. A write up about one of the most beautiful spectacles of nature I have ever seen, a Starling murmuration - the inspiration behind how to make our own bird feeders and feed with children. #starling #blog #starlingmurmuration https://t.co/azZA1UeGOq

[Snapdragons Forest @snap_forest]

@snapdragonsltd Basically my constant state!

Time to fill our bird’s nest @snapgrosvenor. A yomp across the meadows picking up sticks, leaves, feathers and wool that we can offer to the birds so they can build the best nests. #snapforest #BigGardenBirdWatch2023
