What are weeds? Join us to talk about common weeds in London and how they have an important part to play in our urban landscapes. We will also look at the best way to identify them, and which ones can get in our way as gardeners. This workshop will cover: Common weed identification, the positives and negatives of common weeds and types of mulches to prevent weeds where suitable

This largely practical workshop for winter pruning of fruit trees will concentrate mainly on top fruit varieties such as apples, pears, plums and cherries. This is not just about large fruit trees - learn about how to take care of espalier and step-over fruit trees, and fruit bushes which can be incorporated into a small garden. You will find out how to make the most of your garden and how you can produce a good crop of juicy fruit in a small area.
