Gardening Workshop lead by Head Gardener Roger Standley 

Discover the timeless craft of espalier, the elegant technique of training fruit trees to grow flat against a wall or framework. Ideal for small gardens where space is limited, yet equally striking in larger, more formal landscapes, espalier brings structure, beauty, and productivity together in one living work of art.
