It will help you take control of your garden, and prune your plants effectively.

This course covers pruning techniques, with demonstrations and opportunities for hands-on work.
Practical pruning and training for
- roses - shrubs and climbers
- apple trees
- wisteria and other climbers
- winter-flowering shrubs
This course is not assessed; an expert tutor will take you through some of the background to looking after roses, then take you through pruning and train methods on specimen plants outside, before allowing you opportunities to practice this for yourself.
On completion of the programme you will be given a course completion certificate from the Academy of Practical Horticulture.
The course takes place at North Moreton, starting in the Village Hall and then in the garden at The Filberts nearby.
Cost: £75.00.
(Does not include lunch, so please bring a packed lunch; there is a kitchen at the Hall.)

This is mixture of theory and practical work, therefore you need to wear comfortable casual clothing and for inclement weather some waterproofs which are also thornproof would be ideal! Secateurs and gloves will be provided but safety footwear or stout boots should be worn.
You would be welcome to attend any of the short course or masterclasses that we offer, or perhaps (if not already studying one of them) one of the Royal Horticultural Society Courses at one of our centres.
