Learn to prune berry bushes to encourage plant health, vigorous growth, and high fruit yield. Seth Yentes, co-owner and operator of North Branch Farm, will offer guidance on pruning techniques and safety, as well as hands-on pruning experience via some of the farms’ high-bush blueberries. This beginner-level workshop is designed for individuals who haven’t pruned berry bushes before or have only a little experience.
This workshop will be held at North Branch Farm in Monroe, ME.
