Gardener workshops and courses
Winter pruning of fruit trees
December to March, as many of you will know, is the time to prune apple and pear 
trees. Apple and pear pruning workshops will be a regular occurrence throughout the site from December to March. Our intention is to run them avenue by avenue to give new gardeners a chance to meet their neighbours, make new friends and learn new skills. So if you have a number of apple and pear trees and would be happy to host a small workshop in your avenue / area and have your trees pruned by a professional please contact the office! Pruning skills are very easy to learn and can really help make your trees healthier, more productive and easier on the eye!
Contact the STAA office for more details, and look out for posters.
