2020 Core & Advanced Fruit Tree Classes Can be Done Single or as Advanced PDC

3 new classes added so can choose from 15 in the year, these classes all come with full Notes and we will tour the collection of over 1000 fruiting varieties here to assist with learning the skills to manage your own trees using Organic and Biodynamic methods so NO chemical use needed, most management of weeds, pests are done by the system reducing 90% of the workload By Design.

Classes are suitable for Beginners, seasoned growers and for those who have completed a PDC somewhere in the world this can add real skills to fit with what you have learnt already.

​Any class can be done for $95 each with class times 10-4pm onsite in Monbulk, we also have special deals so if you pay up front for 4 classes you get the 5th one free, (we let you upgrade after one single class too) you can also upgrade to the certificate level with a second set of 5 classes, once you have completed any 10 from the 13 fruit classes offered you will receive a certificate of Organic Orchard Management, or if you have a PDC this becomes an Advanced PDC level 3.
