Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop

Tree Pruning Workshop Saturday 23 January at 10am at Healey Greave Meadow in Shelley

The course is open to everyone, but as places are very limited, preference will be given to people who are willing to pass on their new skills to others, and will help prune the trees the Parish Council planted between 2011 and 2014 across the Parish.  The Council will also try to ensure that places are distributed fairly across the villages in the parish. 

If you are interested in taking part, please send your contact details to the Clerk (preferably by email).  She will let you know in January whether or not you have been allocated a place.  We hope to run other courses later in the year, so if you are not successful the first time, you will have another opportunity to apply.

You will need to wear suitable clothing and footwear, bring gardening gloves and secateurs and a warm drink.

The workshop is free of charge.
