Winter Fruit Tree Workshop

1pm, Saturday July 26th

Join Southern Woods at 1pm on Saturday July 26 on-site at Radley Park in Woolston for our annual winter fruit tree pruning and maintenance workshop, led by expert Greg Quinn.

Sponsored by Southern Woods and supported by Christchurch City Council, the workshop is a practical pruning demonstration within the community gardens area of Radley Park, known as Roimata Commons.

With its many community-planted fruit trees, Radley Park provides the perfect backdrop for an up-close look into managing your fruit trees. Expert Greg Quinn will cover pruning and maintenance tips in-situ on a wide selection of fruit trees. His focus will be on pip fruit at this time of the year, although he will also cover a range of other fruit types.

In this 90-minute session Greg will demonstrate how to prune a variety of fruit trees and discuss practical care tips for established trees, with your ticket fee contributing to the ongoing care of the fruit trees in this community-established orchard and garden.

There will be plenty of insightful tips and tricks throughout the session, and time for questions at the end.

Bring warm clothes and practical shoes. Places are limited; registrations are a must.

All proceeds from this session will go to pruning the community gardens fruit trees at Radley Park.
