Grafting workshop at Ravenscourt greenhouses
" Scions determine the type of fruit (what variety of apple, pear, etc), while the root stock determines the size and vigour of your tree. Groups are small - maximum 5 people - so you will have individual tuition.
"Children can accompany under your supervision, but note that grafting requires the use of a sharp knife, so it's not suitable for the very young.
" A bespoke tree - makes an original mother's day gift, or your own perfectly tailored tree. Each session lasts 30 mins. If you have a favourite tree and wish to make more - bring along some 30cm/18in pencil-thickness twigs.
"We will be providing a wide range on the day from which you can choose."
Tickets cost £12 which includes tuition, equipment and your own tree to take home. The workshop will be held in the Ravenscourt Park greenhouses, just behind the cafe in the middle of the park.
