Come and learn some practical pruning techniques within the heart of the North Worcestershire countryside. Wrap up warm and enjoy learning about the best ways to reduce the risk of disease, why we prune at all and the ability to enable a good harvest. Vitally, practical sessions will ensure everyone has the confidence to understand the best ways to prune, and to remember what they have learnt.
Whether you have one fruit tree or several, or just want to expand on your existing knowledge, then this course will introduce you to best techniques. We strongly believe the best way to learn is to do it yourself.
With more than 650 fruit trees and separate coppices requiring pruning across our 7 acres of orchards in the glorious North Worcestershire countryside, you will feel refreshed and armed with your newfound knowledge to give you a better and stronger fruit crop in the future.
A tour of our orchards and hot drinks are included.
We will also give you an understanding of our pruning strategy and how we are to progress the position over the next few years. This will allow you to understand the options available to you, and to develop your own position.









It’s only the second time in its history that the Upper Bittell Reservoir has been drained. This is so the bottom sluice and channel can be repaired. To be able to make the necessary repairs, an access track for HGVs has been created across the top of our fields. The works should be completed by May, 2018 and whilst the area will become a ‘site’ and closed to the public from Monday, 27th November we will have full access for the Barnt Green Wassail at our orchards on Wednesday, December 27th, 2017.
