The workshop will be facilitated by Jeremy Turkington of Hometree (and formerly of Irish Seed Savers) in a small orchard attached to Kane’s Farmhouse, located at Boconnell Lane, Lurgan. This orchard has a range of trees from 10 years to 60+ years that display many of the issues that you would encounter in traditional orchards.
