On Apple Day why not learn more about our national treasure? If you have any apples for identification bring them along for our team to look at and discover the amazing variety of apples grown in the UK. 

There is also an opportunity to see our New Warlands Farm site and find out more about our NEW horticulture courses. Mike Hirst, who was a senior lecturer in horticulture for over 34 years at Houghall College, in East Durham, will lead the courses. 

The farm site is now an official Royal Horticultural Society training centre. We are now running RHS Level 2 and Level 3 courses in horticulture for anyone interested in becoming more green-fingered. There is also the offer of additional short-courses in the likes of pesticides and mower maintenance.

Pop along to the event and find out more about the new courses. 

There is also an opportunity sample some of our delicious homemade apple pies and have a look around our training centre.
