A specialized workshop focusing on summer fruit tree pruning and budding is scheduled for July 4, 2026, at the Applewood Permaculture Centre, located at Waterloo Farm, Ludlow, SY8 4JG, United Kingdom. This face-to-face course, led by certified teacher Chris Evans, is designed for individuals interested in learning these specific horticultural techniques.

The workshop will commence at 9:30 AM, with participants expected to arrive by 9:00 AM, and will conclude at 5:00 PM. The cost for attending is £65, with a 10% discount offered to those who sign up with a friend or bring one along. There are no apprentice teacher positions available for this particular course.

The primary objectives of the workshop are to educate attendees on the methods of summer pruning for fruit trees and the process of fruit tree budding. A practical component of the course involves participants budding two trees themselves, which they will then be able to take home.
