🛠️ About the Workshop

Join Božena Hrycyna for a hands-on intro to scything workshop at the beautiful Gaia Organics farm! This 4-hour morning session is perfect for beginners and those curious about traditional, low-impact mowing techniques.

Learn the fundamentals of:

Setting up and handling a scythe

Proper mowing technique

Sharpening and maintaining your blade

Scything in tall grasses, clover, and mixed weedy areas

This workshop takes place during the coolest part of the day, on dewy morning grass, which is ideal for scything practice.
