Learn to Prune with Purpose – A Fruit Tree Workshop for Gardeners & Growers

Ever wondered if you’re pruning your fruit trees at the right time—or in the right way? Or maybe you’re just starting out and want to give your trees the best chance to thrive?

Join us for Winter Fruit Tree Pruning & Care 101, a beginner-friendly, hands-on workshop designed to give you the confidence and skills to care for fruit trees during the most important season of the year: winter dormancy.

Whether you’re working with a small backyard tree or managing a home orchard, this class will help you understand how, when, and why to prune in a way that supports long-term tree health and productive harvests.

What You’ll Learn

✂️ The Basics of Winter Pruning:
We’ll start indoors with a guided presentation that explains key pruning concepts:

• Why winter is the ideal time to prune
• How pruning affects tree shape and fruiting
• Recognizing dead, diseased, or crossing branches
• Types of cuts (heading vs. thinning) and where to make them
• Common mistakes to avoid

🌱 Winter Tree Care Essentials:
Beyond pruning, you’ll learn winter prep practices like:

• Mulching and soil support
• Checking for disease and pest signs
• Tree health evaluation before spring growth

🌳 Hands-On Practice:
After our indoor overview, we’ll walk together to a nearby community garden (just a few blocks away) to apply what we’ve learned. You’ll get a chance to:

• Use provided pruning tools safely and effectively
• Practice different types of cuts on a real tree
• Ask questions and receive on-the-spot feedback from an experienced instructor
