Blueberry Pruning workshop
February 16, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
$5Love juicy, sweet just-picked blueberries from your own bushes? Not sure how to keep them performing at their best? Join Master Gardeners for a workshop on blueberry pruning.
We’ll view a couple of short videos on blueberry pruning basics: when to prune, choosing which canes to cut, and where to cut them. We’ll discuss tools, garden sanitation, and how pruning is part of a sustainable and organic approach to blueberry plant care.
Then we’ll head out to the on-site blueberry patch to practice our skills. This entails a 5-10 minute walk up a steep hill. Those with mobility issues may drive.
