Spring Fruit Tree Maintenance Workshop

Join Food Well Alliance and Josh Fuder, Cherokee County Extension Agent and NAFEX Board Member, for workshop on Spring Fruit Tree Maintenance at the Westview Community Orchard!

This two hour workshop is a continuation of the seasonal fruit tree workshop series that started with the hands-on purning workshop! You don't need to have attended past workshops to join this one, but they are designed to give you a collective understanding of seasonal orchard maintenance.

In the spring workshop, you'll learn best practices and benefits of thinning flowers/fruiltlets for healthier fruit production, pest management and follow up from pruning.

What to Wear/Bring

• Weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy closed-toed shoes
• Notebook/writing utensil if you'd like to take notes
• Any mediciations you need to stay safe and comfortable in a space with common allergens like pollen, bees and ants

Location Details: We'll be outdoors at Westview Community Orchard. The orchard has uneven, sloped, and unpaved terrain. Street parking is available along S. Gordon Street. There are no restrooms at the orchard, but we can direct you to nearby businesses if needed.
