Event Details

Master the timeless craft of espalier.

This elegant technique of training fruit trees to grow flat against a wall or framework is ideal for small gardens where space is limited. It is equally striking in larger, more formal landscapes. Espalier brings structure, beauty, and productivity together in one living work of art.

Join us for a hands‑on, inspiring day that blends expert tuition with practical experience in a relaxed, friendly setting.

What’s Included:

Guided Garden Tour

Explore beautifully established espalier specimens and see how structure, placement, and pruning shape their distinctive form.

Demonstration & Pruning Techniques

Watch an expert-led demonstration covering the fundamentals of training, tying, and pruning espalier fruit trees – perfect for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike.

Pruning Practice Session

Roll up your sleeves for guided, hands-on pruning practice. Build confidence and leave ready to start – or revive – your own espalier at home.

Coffee & Cake

Enjoy a restorative break with homemade treats and the chance to chat with fellow garden enthusiasts.
