With two community orchards in St Andrews you will get an opportunity to prune young trees at Stanks Park and mature trees in the wonderful Old St Leonards school Orchard . Both sessions are free and will be led by Gerben de Vries from the Newburgh Orchard group .

Some tools provided but please bring secateurs and pruning saws if you have them. Wear strong shoes and warm clothes too.
