About Gilbert’s Garden: Scything Day

Scything plays a big part in the management of wildflower areas within the garden as an aspect of the sustainability policy, to maintain traditional skills and as an immensely satisfying way of managing the orchards and wildflower areas. See how modern Austrian scythes are used, learn how they are set up and maintained and the way they are used most efficiently.
