This is a great opportunity to learn how to graft fruit trees. We will provide all the materials and equipment. 

The workshop will take place on Saturday 14th February at 10.00am to 1.00pm and be led by Matt McCabe in his barn at Barrow Mead. 

We have 6 places remaining!

You will have the opportunity to graft 3 fruit trees. More Trees will then grow these fruit trees on for a couple of growing seasons at the Barrow Mead Tree Nursery.
 
If you would like to keep one of the trees to take it home, we are asking for a donation of ยฃ10 which will help cover the cost of the rootstock.  Any rootstock not taken home will be potted up as part of the workshop and we would also ask you help clear up at the end of the workshop.

To book go to the Eventbrite link on the link in our bio.
 
We hope to see you there!

We are delighted to announce that we are the chari We are delighted to announce that we are the charity partner for this yearโ€™s award-winning @bathartfair and excited to be able to launch a fundraising raffle.
 
The Bath Art Fair runs from Friday 27th February to Sunday 1st March at the Bath Pavillion and showcases original contemporary art work, ceramics, jewellery and sculpture from over 80 of the nationโ€™s leading independent artists, all under one roof.
 
The Fair is organised by Somerset Artist @alceharfield a strong advocate of opening up opportunities for artists in Somerset as well as partnering with charities to connect art with fundraising and raising ยฃ000s for local organisations. 
 
The Bath Art Fair has previously raised around ยฃ2,000 each year for its chosen charity through a raffle and this year the prize is an original artwork donated by Alce. The painting was inspired by the iconic Legends slot at Glastonbury Festival.
 
โ€œBathed in glorious sunshine, the crowd was captivated by the boundless energy on stageโ€ฆ It was, quite simply, an unforgettable treat,โ€ said Harfield.
 
Tickets are ยฃ5 per entry (multiple entries welcome). The raffle stays open for around a month after the fair, with the draw at the end of March 2026.
 
Enter via Localgiving and then complete the short entry form so we can confirm your entry and contact you if you win. Please see our bio for the direct links to both.
 
We will also be present at Bath Art Fair over the weekend, inviting visitors to learn more about local tree growing and plantingโ€”and how to get involved as a volunteer, donor, or community supporter.

We hope to see you there!
