๐Ÿ› ๏ธ About the Workshop

Join Boลพena 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

Why scything is beneficial for maintaining healthy orchards, meadows, and garden spaces.

This workshop takes place during the coolest part of the day, on dewy morning grass, which is ideal for scything practice.
We will take a midday break and have a shared lunch after the class. Bring a lunch item to share or whatever you can. We'll have a chance to rest, break bread, and share our wonderings and learnings around scything and ecologically minded land tending.

๐ŸŒฟ What to Bring

Gloves

Sun hat

Closed-toe shoes

Long-sleeved shirt (preferably linen or cotton)

Water bottle

Notebook (optional)

Lunch item (to share, if possible)

Scythes will be provided for practice. Participants can also inquire about purchasing a scythe on site. *Ideally, if you plan to purchase a scythe, get in touch in advance, so we can do a proper fitting.*

๐Ÿ’ฌ Notes

Minimum 4 participants required to run the workshop.

Boลพena will bring additional scythes for practice and lending.
