Jayson will be showing us how to keep safe when harvesting seaweed and how to use sustainable harvesting techniques in order to protect this natural resource. We’ll also discuss tidal zones and learn when to harvest different seaweeds. \nWe will then take some seaweed back to the cabin where we will discuss the many ways you can utilise this abundant natural resource in your gardens. \nThis is a great opportunity to take part in a fun\, exciting and informative morning outdoors! The workshop is suitable for over 16s only and will involve some physical activity over potentially rocky terrain. Access to the beach is not suitable for wheelchair users or people with limited mobility. \n  \nBooking information\nBooking is required as spaces are limited. \nFull price: £30 \nGreener Kirkcaldy members/volunteers: £27 \nConcession: £24 \nIf you have any problems booking\, or any questions\, please phone 01592 858458 or email info@greenerkirkcaldy.org.uk.

SUMMARY:Winter Pruning - Apple and Pear Trees
DESCRIPTION:For apple and pear trees winter pruning encourages vigorous growth so if you would like more fruit then pruning will encourage new shoots and more flowers. Without cutting back they can become straggly and unproductive. \nBetween November and March the trees are dormant and the lack of leaves means you can better see the structure and shape of your tree. You will learn how to maintain the shape of established trees\, remove dead and diseased wood and reduce crowded growth increasing the vigour of your tree in spring. \nPlease wear suitable gardening clothing and be prepared to be outside in all weathers! No experience necessary. \nThe workshop will take place at Ravenscraig Walled Garden. Please wear suitable outdoor clothing and walking footwear. \nThere is disabled parking on site and the venue is wheelchair accessible. \n  \nBooking information \nBooking is required as spaces are limited. Please book using the ‘Register’ button above. \nFull price: £20 \nGreener Kirkcaldy members/volunteers: £18 \nConcessions*: £16 \n*Students (full time)\, Senior Citizens (65+)\, eligible benefits (Income Support\, Working Tax Credit\, Income based Jobseeker’s Allowance\, Income based Employment and Support Allowance\, Housing Benefit and Universal Credit).

SUMMARY:Summer Pruning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Our holistic fruit tree care and pruning workshop will introduce you to pruning apple\, pear\, cherry and plum trees\, taking a natural approach. We’ll cover basic techniques and methods to start you pruning with confidence at home. We’ll also look at common pests and diseases\, and how to deal with them organically. The course is based at our orchard in Ravenscraig Walled Garden and covers some theory about pruning but is largely practical and outside\, allowing hands on practice and question time. \nSummer pruning should take place from the end of July\, so this workshop gives you the chance to learn some skills before its time to prune your own trees. \nThe workshop will be led by Appletreeman Andrew Lear\, an expert on growing fruit in the Scottish climate (and a key influence on the development of our Ravenscraig orchard). More information about Andrew on his website. \nNo experience necessary. Please wear suitable outdoor clothing and walking footwear. There is disabled parking on site and the venue is wheelchair accessible. \n  \nBooking information\nBooking is required as spaces are limited. Please book using the ‘Register’ button above. \nFull price: £20 \nGreener Kirkcaldy members/volunteers: £18 \nConcessions*: £16 \n*Students (full time)\, Senior Citizens (65+)\, eligible benefits (Income Support\, Working Tax Credit\, Income based Jobseeker’s Allowance\, Income based Employment and Support Allowance\, Housing Benefit and Universal Credit).
