"Thank you for a most enjoyable workshop today. Bryan and Christoff were great instructors and I was most impressed after a couple of hours of mowing with new gear, to have no aches and pains and no blisters.

I learnt heaps and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the course to anyone interested in scything." Peter
