Have a look at this  http://www.woodlandskillscentre.co.uk/trees-from-seed.html
I know that the October 2007 course has already gone but they do mention repeats in 2008. I'm going to make enquiries after the festive season and make sure that my name is on the list, if anyones interested?

This should fit in quite nicely with the one day orchard management course that I'm going on next month.

Sounds a bit like a course for those who have been mis-behaving, as the course info. states - "You will also learn the techniques of growing trees in cells".

Apple Trees + Cider (+ good pub in the village) sounds more like my kind of thing:

2 Day Course

Did you notice the names of the people working there?
Rebecca Oaks
Natasha Twigg
Geoff Whittley
They must know what their stuff!

I'm fairly up to speed on the cider making, its the tree husbandry that I know nothing about.

And some gardeners: Flowerdew, Greenwood, what else not.
