Held in our Learning Centre garden in Melbourne, this workshop will be led by Jenny England of Merrywood Plants, specialists in espaliering. We will focus on espaliering fruit trees and will combine discussion of the techniques and styles of espaliered plants with a hands-on session in pruning.

Enter the College via the main reception area, which is located near the end of Cromwell Street, and follow the signs to the garden.

Public transport is usually the best way to get to Collingwood College, with Collingwood train station only minutes away. On Saturdays there may be limited parking in the immediate vicinity of the College. Other parking options are generally the north and south sides of Hoddle Street, in Gipps Street and in the parking zone at the end of Islington Street.
