How do I book onto a course at Applewood?

To book onto a course at Applewood please email Emma at applewoodcourses@yahoo.com

Who do you know that could also benefit from learning permaculture skills for life? We are offering a 10% discount on your course fee if you can bring a friend to attend the course (on selected courses).  This offer is available any time after you book your own place, right up until the course starts.

Can I get to Applewood By Public Transport?

The nearest Train Stations are in Leominster (7 miles to the south), Ludlow (6 miles to the north). The 490 bus goes from Ludlow via Orleton (get down at the crossroads signposted to Orleton Common,) to Leominster and vice versa. We are usually able to arrange pick up from the crossroads or even the station. We also try and organise lift shares. It’s a very nice walk from the crossroads where the bus lets you off, just 1.3 miles to Waterloo farm, if that appeals to you.

Can I pay in instalments?

We ask that people pay a deposit to secure their place on a course and make the commitment to come. After that we are happy for people to pay in instalments.  Get in touch and we can make a plan together which works for you. email applewoodcourses@yahoo,com

Do you cater for people with special diets?

All the food we serve will be vegetarian. We aim to provide people with plentiful, healthy food, with some of our produce and organic and in season where possible. Let us know about your special diet when you book and we will do our best to cater for them. We regularly cater for vegans and people who are gluten fee, and can cater for specific intolerances.

Currently we  have camping available in our beautiful orchards. We also have space for one or two small campervans. If you don't camp we have 6 indoor beds in our shared dormitory and there are places to stay in Ludlow and Leominster. If you want to camp and don't have a tent we also have a couple we can lend out.
