FREE Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop + Workday

Come out to the Dr. George Washington Carver Edible Park in the East End Valley Street Legacy Neighborhood for a FREE Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop & Workday! Local ethnobotanist Marc Williams and Bountiful Cities Staff member Kelly Applegate will be guiding folks in pruning fruit trees in the urban food forest. We will give a tour and history of the park and then start looking at how to prune and manage fruit trees! NC Extension Master Gardeners will also have soil test kits, NC Extension publications about growing and maintaining fruit trees, and examples of pruning tools and sharpeners available for the public. If you are interested in learning more about growing fruit trees, urban food forests, or community gardens this event is for you!
