Pruning and Grafting Apple and Pear Trees with Vincent Obbard

Enjoy a workshop of practical information and hands-on learning about the art and science of grafting and pruning apple and pear trees with Vincent Obbard at Samarès Manor. The morning will start with coffee in the front hall at 9.30 a.m. The morning includes a short walk to look at how Samarès’ trees are pruned, so warm clothes are essential as is a sharp penknife!
