The gardens around the cottage and barn are used for lessons when the weather is fine. There is also a patio with barbecue where students and teachers often eat lunch, an orchard, a vegetable/flower garden and an outdoor sauna.
The food at the cottage is delicious: they make their own bread and use organic and fair-trade produce when possible. Mealtimes are a wonderful opportunity for planning, conversation and celebration!
