Introductory Stone Wall Workshops

Our introductory workshops for homeowners and tradespeople promote the beauty and integrity of stone. The one-day workshops will focus on the basic techniques for creating dry-laid garden retaining walls and free-standing walls using field stone and rounded cobbles. The workshops are hands-on — working directly with stone native to Vermont. Workshops are organized by Charley MacMartin of Queen City Soil & Stone and will be held at the Hinesburg greenhouses of Red Wagon Plants. The cost for a one-day workshop is $100. Space is limited so please call to register: (802) 318-2411.

"Charley MacMartin is not only a skilled stone artisan, but he's also a patient, caring, and inspiring educator. With Charley's guidance, students at the Community Teaching Garden at Ethan Allen Homestead had a fun and meaningful experience building a circular stone table which turned out beautifully, and is a lasting symbol of community."
