Calling All Orchardists

We need 7 minutes of your time and in return you get the chance to win a free fruit tree or shrub.
As you may know, The Orchard Project wants to ensure that our community orchards are cared for by well-trained, well-connected orchardists. To that end, we are now delivering a 12-day, accredited certificate in orchard management. It's going very well: https://tinyurl.com/y8f5db7c But we want to know how/if we should repeat the course in and outside London. Can you let us know what you think? There are 16 questions - if you can't think of an answer to any of them just leave them ... Here goes:
