We are holding a class at Healds farm on Edgley Rd (first gate on the left) Norsewood on Friday 22nd May starting at 9am.

Everything will be covered in the first hour (in case people are time limited) but we will go for another hour max for people to practice pruning. The workshops are held regardless of the weather but if it is crazy Norsewood weather then it will be a shorter workshop 😆 If it's raining, we don't actually prune the trees, instead Emily will talk about disease spread etc. 

Emily will give a grafting demonstration and answer any questions you have on this topic. 

Please bring secateurs and loppers to practice. Sanitizing spray for your gear will be provided.  

We do ask people to jump in a photo at the end for future promotion material. 

Koha please. 

Please note you'll be on an organic dairy farm and will need to abide by the Health and Safety rules when visiting. FYI, the orchard is located near some bee hives. 

It would be great if people could email on trudy.rankin@outlook.com  to let me know if they intend to come please. 

Nga mihi Trudy
