Join Friends of Valley Walk Orchard for a hands-on introduction to summer orchard pruning. Led by Luke, this two-hour session focuses on the summer pruning of stone fruit trees and covers the basic principles of orchard tree care. We’ll begin with a 15-minute health and safety briefing before getting started, with opportunities to learn through practical experience.

Participants may also help with additional tasks such as litter picking. Please note that anyone under 16 must be accompanied and closely supervised by an adult.

Accessibility information

Valley Walk Orchard is located towards the back of the South Section of Valley Walk, it's a short walk from The Groves or Miltons Close entrances and slightly further from the Bishport Avenue and Hareclive Road entrances.
Some of this is across grass, and slightly uneven ground, as there isn't a hard surface path in the Orchard.
Any under 16s must be accompanied and assisted through out the entire session and will need close supervision by a parent or carer.
