We are delighted to invite you to our yearly fruit tree grafting workshop with Scott. For learning or refreshing your tree propagating skills.
As part of the Rewild Project's Edible Forestry month, we are hosting a series of workshops designed to lift your spirits and skills!
The Rewild Project CIC is a non-profit, so all fees from workshop ticket sales go directly back into the organisation to help fund the amazing work we do!
We have a limited number of subsidised tickets available for those on low income, so please be mindful of this when selecting your ticket price. And if you would like to give more, you can give a donation on the day.
Workshops are aimed at adults (18+) but we can make exceptions on a case by case basis.
This workshop is part of the Edible Forest Skills Project and is subsidised by the Foresters’ Forest Landscape Partnership Scheme.
