On a rainy day at Uppark, we made a start on the Christmas preparations. The garden department are decorating the beautiful stables using natural materials for the Family Christmas weekend on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th December 2012 – there might be the odd bit of sparkle…
Children will have the opportunity to enjoy a fun and educational journey through the stables before meeting Father Christmas.
We had great fun designing and creating decorations from coppiced Hazel and Willow and experimenting with Yew and Ivy; for our Sustainable Christmas.
With Head Gardener Andy’s great tuition and creativity, using natural products available from the woodland and garden we are producing some great things!
L-R, Andy in observational mood, Paul in his usual jocular mood and Judy, diligent as ever.
We also had the company of two very special dogs Maisie and Spud.
Our ‘winter woodland’ in the stables will be available for all to see at the Family Christmas weekend at Uppark House and Garden on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th December.
