Talks & Courses

Illustrated Talks:

• Edible Landscaping & Growing Unusual Fruits

• Nut Growing in Britain

• An Introduction to Grafting for Beginners

Talks are usually about one and a quarter hours long but this is flexible according to your requirements. They're PowerPoint presentations and I provide everything required for the show including laptop, projector and screen.  

The fee is £50.00 plus travelling expenses of 40p per mile. 

Maximum distance I'm willing to travel is a 40 mile radius from Stamford, Lincolnshire (80 miles round trip).

Grafting Workshop: 

A one day course for complete beginners to learn the technique of grafting

This is principally a practical workshop giving members the opportunity to learn several basic methods of grafting. All materials and tools are provided for participants (up to a maximum of 20). The workshop culminates with everyone grafting a couple of fruit trees to take home.

Theoretical aspects are also dealt with and a booklet is provided, so no need to take notes!

All the course organiser has to do is arrange a suitable venue with sufficient tables to work on. The best time of year for this workshop is in the early spring (late February to early April). As rootstocks for the workshop must be ordered by November at the latest, early booking is essential.

The fee is £250.00 all inclusive. I'm willing to travel a maximum distance of 80 miles radius from Stamford, Lincolnshire (160 miles round trip).
