Join us at Southern Woods for the first of our winter fruit tree workshops, focused on selecting and planting your new fruit trees.

With many years of experience, our in-house expert Devin Westley will take you through what’s required to get your new orchard established. Suitable for gardeners of all abilities, the sessions will cover the essentials of selecting and planting your new fruit trees. We’ll cover species suitability, soil preparation, first-year pruning, staking, disease prevention, and more.

Our in-house tool expert Chris Smith will be on hand to provide tips on selecting and maintaining your tools, and our mate Paul from Intelligro will cover soil nutrition and mulch for existing and new trees. Plus, we’ll have a great selection of winter fruit trees in the plant centre.

60 mins with seating available. This is the 9am session, an 11am session is also available.

Our second workshop on the 27th will focus on established trees, hosted by our friends at Roimata Food Commons in Woolston. Visit southernwoods.co.nz/winterworkshops/ for details and ticketing.
