Learn to grow your own fruit trees
When: April 11, 1pm-3pm
Where: Benevolence Orchards
Spring is the perfect time to nurture young trees and plan for their long-term health. Growing your own fruit is also a meaningful way to build food resilience and enjoy fresh, local harvests for years to come. Whether you’re planting new trees or tending to the ones you have, this workshop will equip you with the skills to:
-
Select and plant fruit trees for optimal growth
-
Meet your trees’ nutritional needs and manage water efficiently
-
Build resilience to pests and diseases
-
Create a welcoming environment for beneficial insects
We’ll also explore how fruit trees contribute to our community: offering forage for pollinators, habitat for wildlife, cooling local microclimates, and more! Plus, learn tips on being a good neighbor to local wildlife (like our fruit-loving black bears).
