Abundance. Wildness. Senescence.
Those words sum up a Guardswell Wreath to us. Something extra large, extra irregular, a little bit crunchy and full of texture, with unexpected pockets of luxury.

Nibbly canapes, mulled cider and twinkling background music to accompany.
All materials will be provided, as well as little finishing touches to adorn your wonderfully wild wreath.
Limited spaces, so please book early.

WILD WINTER WREATHS + FORAGING WALK
Abundance. Wildness. Senescence.
Those words sum up a Guardswell Wreath to us. Something extra large, extra irregular, a little bit crunchy and full of texture, with unexpected pockets of luxury.
Join us to get really creative, and a little bit messy, putting together a wreath for your door, your mantle or your table. Something to last you for the duration of winter, not just the festive period.
This workshop is a little longer than the evening workshop- as we will take a short walk at the start of the class to gather some additional parts for your wreath. Please bring sturdy boots, or ask to borrow some wellies.
Nibbly brunch canapes, mulled cider and twinkling background music to accompany.
All materials will be provided, as well as little finishing touches to adorn your wonderfully wild wreath.
You do not need to have any experience pre this workshop. We will even teach you how to make a sustainable, reusable, wreath base using willow or grapevine from the farm.
Limited spaces, so please book early.
9am-1pm, £95 per head

ANNUAL GUARDSWELL POMANDER WORKSHOP
Potentially one of the best dates in the Guardswell diary. The annual pomander workshop. Ready those thumbs, thicken that skin, refine the pincher movement.
Join us on the farm to learn how to make your very own orange (with apple and satsuma also an option) pomander. We will regale you with a little pomander history. We will drink hot apple juice and coffee, and we’ll chat away until you have your very own pomander for your home (or perhaps 3, depending on how fast you are).
All materials provided, and wonderful round table pomander chat.

PRODUCE MARKET- LOW WASTE + LOCAL
LOCALLY GROWN + MADE | SUSTAINABLE | LOW WASTE
ALTERNATIVE TO YOUR WEEKLY SHOP
3pm - 7.30pm
The Guardswell Market has returned!
Whether you work all week, work all weekend or care for another individual - thinking about what you eat, and where it comes from, has to fit around your schedule. Whether we like it or not, attitudes have changed in Britain over the last few decades that have created a disconnect between shopper and the food they are purchasing.
Our 'busy' lives and shrinking budget allocation for food is pushing us towards mass retail at unsustainable prices (for both shoppers and producers), often grown in unsustainable ways, with vast waste and use of packaging.
As much as we try to shop 'local' ourselves, the above could not be more true - we find ourselves having the time to do a 'weekly' shop in the evenings, usually on a week night - and at times when the local green grocers or butchers are no longer open. Now, this is obviously not true for everyone - an urban individual keen to support smaller retailers can nip out in the lunch break - but as a rural dweller and worker, this isn't quite as easy - incongruous as this may sound. Surely being surrounded by agriculture, we should be the ones who can get our hands on the produce the easiest, and have the closest connection to it.
Come along to our monthly market and you'll find everything you need for a weekly shop - from fruit + veg to bread + brownies, all of the basics and a treat or two...
Please remember to bring your own shopping bags + containers.

RURAL WORKSPACE. Farm Co-Working Day
Not your usual work day. Join us at Guardswell for Rural Workspace. Settle down with a coffee and the view, and feel inspired working in another location for the day.
STARTING WITH MOTHS- AN INTRODUCTION TO MOTH TRAPPING AND RECORDING
Find out more about these beautiful and fascinating creatures which form an important part of the ecosystem. We will introduce you to positioning and setting up a moth trap, plus the processes involved in analysing, identifying and recording your catch.
If the weather is suitable and there is time, we may also be able to look around a wild flower meadow for moth food plants and day flying insects. We have a number of traps available for loan if you decide to try out moth trapping for yourself. Please contact the email below for further details.
It is essential to register your free place in advance. Please book via perthshire.butterflies@fireflyuk.net. The event will take place at Guardswell Farm.
This event is being run by Tayside Biodiversity. To visit their event page- click HERE
N.B The little guy in the photo is a butterfly, a meadow brown, not a moth- but taken in our meadow.
