Our resident orchardist and experienced tree grafter Darren will teach you how to make your own apple trees.
Grafting apple trees is an incredibly satisfying and useful skill to learn, one that has been practised for centuries in orchards and gardens around the world.
In this three-hour tutorial session you'll learn the theory and principles of tree grafting and be shown four simple methods for grafting your own apple trees. You'll also be able to graft three brand new apple trees to take away at the end of the session.
Please N.B. the practical part of the session will involve manual work with sharp implements. For this reason, the session is only open to responsible adults, age 18+, who are able to safely handle sharp tools.
Please note that lunch is not provided. Please bring your own lunch or visit the Weaving Shed Restaurant.
Admission charges do not apply.
