Frequently asked questions
Do I need to bring my own equipment?
Yes, bring what tools you normally use. We will, however, have some tools available for the workshop.
What should I wear?
Bring layers - this is mostly a practical workshop outside, but there will be some time spent inside.
Waterproof boots/wellies, a coat, hat, gloves, and maybe a waterbottle are advised.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We will only cancel this event in the case of heavy rain. We will watch the weather and be in communication with you.
Do I need some prior knowledge of pruning?
Absolutely not - whether you're a keen gardener, or an absolute novice, we will provide all the information you need to prune your vine.
