Our team has had the privilege to play a small part in an ongoing study program surrounding the Sweet Chestnut trees at Greenwich Park with foliar and soil treatments.

 

This Workshop has first class leaders/speakers, and is set in a fantastic historic Royal Park in South East London close to the banks of the River Thames.

 

There are approximately 100 places available for this Work Shop but places will undoubtedly go quickly..

Nev Fay has suggested that this workshop may run again if there is enough interest.

 

Alternatively this years AA conference is focusing on trees and soils where a lot of this day will be run again.

16 minutes ago, Gary Prentice said:

Same venue, or north of Watford?

 

 

Treeworks are based in Bristol Gary but they deliver 'most' of their seminars in London due to venues (Kew, Linean Society etc.....) and closeness to the mainland (friend of mine 'popped' over on Euro Star from Belgium for the day just for this seminar)  

I can't speak for Neville, but if there is enough interest t'up north then I'd imagine it would be an option. 

 

Suggest you contact the Treeworks Seminars team
