Hedge laying is the art of cutting a stem partly through so that it will bend without breaking and will continue to grow. This makes the hedge stock-proof without additional fencing and prolongs the life of the hedge. Hedges that have been laid over generations form an important aesthetic element within the British landscape and support biodiversity. This course will lead to an accreditation at Level 3 with the Open College Network.
