Last Saturday, March 5th, dozens of local people descended on our site for an afternoon of grafting apple trees, seed sowing and training in taking cuttings. We ran the event in partnership with South Lakeland Orchard Group, whose members joined us in the morning for their own session in apple grafting.
James gave a tour of our new polytunnels and described our ambitious plans for developing the site over the coming two or three years. Hazel was busy talking to prospective students about our forthcoming training courses.
