Pomes and Stones; Grow Your Own Tree Fruit Workshop – Aug. 18

Do you like the idea of picking an apple or pear from a tree right in your yard? Does the idea of

biting into a freshly-picked ripe peach while you stand under the tree in your yard sound good? Before you rush out to buy a fruit tree, attend this seminar to learn some basic facts about how to select a tree, plant it, and take care of it. The importance of pruning, tree maintenance, fruit thinning, and disease and pest management will be covered. Emphasis will be on organic practices.

This workshop is put on in collaboration with Clark County Public Health – Solid Waste Outreach. Saturday, Aug. 18 at 10:00 a.m. at the Luke Jensen Sports Complex – Bud van Cleve Community Room. FREE! No registration necessary. For more information: (360) 397-6060 x5738 or Erika.d.johnson@wsu.edu. Visit us online at http://extension.wsu.edu/clark/gardening/workshops-events/.
