This event is free to the public.

John loves rocks! You need to come and here this man speak.

John works to create beautiful structures from rocks found in our region without mortar. He creates walls, benches, arches and even bridges!  John has also written a number of books on his work and runs workshops across the country on dry stone wall construction. He has helped the Ennismore Horticultural Society with a number of beautiful projects in their gardens. Worth the drive to check them out!

The Lakefield Horticultural Society has had John as a guest speaker before and have waited too long to invite him back. This is a talk you won’t want to miss….husbands welcome!

And to add to the fun of the evening, John has asked that each person bring along a rock or stone of their choosing for him to use in a demonstration.  Not too big to carry or too small to see. Sounds intriguing!
