📜 A few helpful notes before your visit to The Walled Garden:
🌿 Our workshops may take place partly outdoors, depending on the weather and will involve a walk to the Salley garden. Please come prepared with warm layers, sturdy footwear, and perhaps a raincoat ...the garden has its own kind of beauty in every season. 🥾🧤
🍰 If you have any allergies or dietary requirements, please let us know at the time of booking so we can make suitable arrangements.
✉️ A few days before your workshop, we’ll send you an email with directions, contact details, and any other useful information to help you plan your visit.
❗ Cancellation policy: Tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. Once purchased, they become your property and cannot be transferred to another date or event. If a workshop proceeds as scheduled, we regret that we cannot offer refunds for unused tickets due to circumstances beyond our control, such as adverse weather or travel issues.
