Training Espalier Apples and Pears | May 30, 2026

Espalier is one of the most beautiful ways to grow fruit trees in a garden. It brings structure, elegance, and productivity into even a small space, turning a simple tree into a living architectural feature.

Join us on May 30 for a one-hour espalier workshop led by Jack at Fruits and Shoots Plant Farm. In this practical class, you will learn how to set up a proper framework for espalier, how to choose the right plants, and how to begin training young trees into a strong, long-lasting form.

Jack will also demonstrate the pruning techniques needed to maintain an espalier over time, including both summer pruning and winter pruning. You will leave with a clearer understanding of how espalier works, what mistakes to avoid, and how to confidently begin one in your own garden.

This workshop is ideal for gardeners who want to grow fruit beautifully along a fence, wall, pathway, or garden boundary.

Space is limited. Reserve your spot and learn how to create a fruiting feature that can become one of the most memorable parts of your garden.
