Apple Tree Pruning Worksop January 20th
So far we have six definites for this.
Becky Johnson, who is a parent at St Louis, has put up posters there, as it seems really important to get at least a couple of parents (or even teachers!) to take part. After all, it is their orchard we're going to be practising on. But I think this means we can still take a couple more - ten sounds about the right number for this.
By the way, if anyone has expertise in pollarding, they might like to come and look at Orchard Street allotments and tell me if I'm doing the right thing with the ash-tree nearest the church. We hope that this will give us a regulat supply of pea and bean sticks.
