Restorative Pruning Workshop 9:30am – 1:00pm: Join us at one of Leeds’ oldest orchards within Hesketh Lane Recreation Ground. We’ll learn from expert Mark Simmonds how to prune older or neglected fruit trees, and then have chance to try our hand at pruning these veteran trees, helping keep this orchard healthy into the future.
No experience nessecary!
Wassail – 1:00pm – 2:00pm Following the training we’ll be hosting a Wassail! A Wassail is an Anglo Saxon festival to encourage a good fruit crop. Expect music, and hot cider! All welcome!
