Planting and caring for an orchard is easier than you might think and a great way to convert an area of ground to something more productive, bio diverse and lovely to look at. Our course tutor Chris Troy is a TEAGSC trained commercial horticulturist with over 40 years practical experience of creating and caring for domestic orchards across Ireland. He’s an active member of Future Orchards in Glanmire and runs a number of courses on planting, grafting, pruning and fruit thinning on site each year.
In his friendly, down to earth and practical teaching style, Chris will introduce you to the basics of planning, planting and caring for an orchard be it for 3 or 30 trees! You’ll also have an opportunity to taste proper homegrown and home-juiced apple juice and other products from Chris’ apple harvest.
This full day course is a comprehensive introduction to planning and planting an apple orchard and Chris will have orchard starter packs for sale so you can create your own orchard when you get home.

The prestigious Ballymaloe 12 WeekCertificate Course is run three times a year, with courses beginning in January,April or May, and September.
The course is aimed at anyone with a passionate interest in food. Many of our students use the course as a springboard to become a professional chef; others use it to equip themselves with a marketable skill.
Others still take the course simply to maximize the pleasure they get from cooking at home.
Students develop a deep and detailed understanding of food and how it is produced. The emphasis is on recognising the best ingredients and knowing how to showcase them.
