Do you have deciduous Fruit trees in need of pruning? Now that they are bare it’s the perfect time to prune (most of) them for better fruiting and easier picking this Summer! Come out to the Master Gardener’s parcel at Martial Cottle Park on Saturday January 31st and get all of your pruning questions answered by our Orchard Lead Don Bollinger! Don will discuss why we prune fruit trees, when to prune them, how and how much to prune them, and even which ones not to prune in Winter! Afterwards, (weather permitting) Don will give a pruning demonstration in our Orchard.

Participants should wear closed-toed shoes, layered clothing and a hat, as the class is held outdoors. 

Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow time to park and sign in. 

Please note: the park charges $6.00 for parking, or park closer to our area on Chynoweth Avenue near Vauxhall Circle for free
