Orchard Pruning Workshops Feb 2026

Paul LynchLeave a commentUncategorized, , ,

Firstly, On Feb 21st we will have the regular winter pruning workshop with a focus on the formative pruning of young trees.
Then a week later on 28th Feb 2026 we will have a winter pruning workshop focusing on the restoration of mature and older neglected trees, which involves additional skills, considerations and concepts.
Both workshops will cover all the basics in orchard care, but each with special focus areas.
There will be plenty repetition of key points between the two courses, which would be highly beneficial to anyone seriously considering mastering their own orchard care.

There is always something that can be done in permaculture, and it has been tempting to just make use of the good dry weather to get ahead with all the winter jobs calling out for attention. There is a risk of never taking a break to reflect – especially if your work involves orchard care it can be tempting to just drive on if dry weather presents itself! I’ve come to respect the deep winter natural pausing time however and I’m happy that the holiday time in mainstream society still largely reflects this. I find that even a couple of days spent looking back over the year and meditating on what I’d like to manifest in my world is very worthwhile.   On the professional front I remember wishing to take a bigger step into my teaching vocation this year, which really manifested in ways that I could not expect Continue Permaculture Story
