The rose pergola has been particularly flamboyant this year and Lois has been encouraging new blooms by regular deadheading of the old ones. Here she is hard at work on a sunny Tuesday morning, before we all head off to Fivizzano market for a bit of shopping and a chat over coffee.
We have a splendid Writing Your Life Stories group with Jo Parfitt with us this week and they will be joining us there. It’s all part of the inspirational experience of a Watermill creative course.
Why not come and see our colourful gardens and grounds for yourself, by joining one of our inspiring creative courses — and enjoy a spectacular setting, warm hospitality, delicious food, the convivial company of like-minded people – and, of course, inspiring tuition from our sympathetic Watermill tutors.
Our 2022 courses are pretty full up, but we do have some spaces and you can see the details below. Please don’t worry if you find a course you like the look of it is fully booked: there are often cancellations, so just let us know via the Watermill Contact Form (click here) and we will put you on a waiting list.
