My name is Irene Kelly. My formal training includes basket making and horticultural skills, but my interest in crafts and gardening goes back to my childhood. I grew up in a household where making and creating were part of everyday life. This experience greatly enriched my life and so I enjoy the sharing and passing on of the knowledge and skills I have acquired over the years. Here at Green Road Gardens we offer a variety of classes including: basket making; gardening; crafts; stone carving; building living willow structures; vegetable and herb growing; preserving; and many more. Here our tutoring style involves lots of practical and hands on training in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Bespoke classes also available for groups on request.
