Blueberry Pruning Workshop – January 13, 2018

Love 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; Saturday, January 13 from 10am to noon.

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. Location provide upon registration (Hazel Dell area).

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.

Dress for the weather and bring water, garden gloves, and a pair of sharpened loppers or hand bypass pruners if you have them.

Registration Required: No admission without advance registration. http://bpt.me/3164605
