🐝🪵 DIY Carpentry: Build A Bee Hotel 🪵🐝
Join us at HatchSpace in downtown Brattleboro for a hands-on carpentry class where you'll build a beautiful, functional bee hotel from scratch. Over the course of the class, you'll get comfortable with saws, drills, and hand tools while learning how to measure, cut, and assemble a sturdy outdoor structure. You'll walk away with a finished wooden bee hotel, complete with a slanted, rain-shedding roof, ready to support wild and native bees in your backyard.
✨ Weekend Schedule:
📅 Saturday, May 2 | 10am–5pm | Woodworking Class
📅 Sunday, May 3 | 10am–12pm | Optional Foraging Session at Brattleboro Retreat Farm
Sunday's optional walk is something special - your instructor will guide you through responsibly gathering natural and invasive plant materials to use as nesting material inside your bee hotel. Equal parts ecology lesson and local adventure. 🌿
Whether you're a total beginner or just looking to build your shop confidence, this is a weekend well spent. Spots are limited — link in bio to register!
