We have been regenerating our ponds here at The Husbandry School, lessening some choking plant life to allow for good breeding grounds for wildlife. We have also rehabilitated the ponds with iris and bulrush plants 🌱.
.
In the process, students found breeding frogs, newts and eels 🐸!

Welcome Nell, Nettle and Bramble; our new therapy goats 🐐 !
.
These lovely new additions recently came to live with us as close neighbours to the school - they are rescued, de-horned goats which we can introduce and integrate with our students at the school... and we love them! We are feeding them lots of hay in this ‘orrid weather 😫!

We’ve been making felted small world play-mats today with our students at the school 🧶!
.
Carefully positioning merino wool this way and that, layering the colours with our design in mind, and then wet felting until our design is thickened and secure, ready for rolling up as a 3D world - the perfect play-mat once characters have been needle felted and added 🌎!
.
We have a felting course here at The Husbandry School next Saturday 14th November - booking and gift vouchers to learn the skill are available on our website through our link in our bio 😉.

Ute Indian squash in the kitchen with students today, grown here on the hill with seeds from @realseeds 👩🏻‍🌾 in Wales!
.
The flesh is rich and dense, perfect to roast with our Husbandry peppers and added to lentils in a delicious stew 😋.
.
The Ute Indian Squash is an ancient variety from the native Ute people in Colorado, from AD 1300 to 1881 💫.
