Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop

$20.00 - $35.00

Saturday, March 6 (1-4 p.m.)


Our 5th Annual Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop will focus on standard pruning techniques to increase fruit production and improve overall fruit tree health. The workshop will be both a classroom-type discussion and some hands-on training in our orchard. In addition there will be information on a standard pesticide free approach to managing your own orchard. Here we will discuss alternative methods such as the use of pheromone traps, dormant oils, horticultural soaps, and botanical treatments. All of the alternative products discussed will be available for purchase at the conclusion of the workshop. 


Each participant will receive a folder of great informational resources to refer back to when it comes time to prune your own fruit trees later down the road. Cost of workshop is $20 per person or $35 per couple. Ticket must be purchased in advance.

Spring Porch Pot

$55.00

Limited Tickets! On March 27 from 12-2 at the Beautiful Next To Nature

Farm We will learn to make Early Spring Porch Pots. You will also learn

how to plant, how to care for them, the soil to use and how to water and

how to use them as a spring board into the summer season and be the

envy of the neighborhood! This is a fun and informative make and take

class.


We will plant these in 10-12 inch pulp pots that you can pop into your

current porch pots or you will leave with the knowledge to plant them into

your pots current soil. These are very sturdy so you can even set them out

for months without them breaking down, or use them again for

transplanting or gardening.


I like my classes to give you some room for creativity so I will have a great

selection of early spring flowers like pansies for example and a mix of

herbs, trailing plants and fun center accents. All grown organically in KS

and included in the price of the ticket. Pictures are pots I have done

around KC and you will learn all my thoughts and tricks and take one

home. There is also a picture of the pulp pot to avoid confusion.


This class is taught by Jennifer Storr, owner of Branch and Bloom and is a local Certified

Arborist that takes care of high-end landscapes and plants around KC.

Please check out my website at; www.branchandbloomkc.com or Facebook

and insta @branchandbloomkc.com for more examples of my work


This event is rain or shine and will follow all COVID-19 guidelines. We will either

be outside under the patio or inside depending on the weather but I always

recommend to dress in layers and if you prefer garden gloves to bare

hands please bring them. Planting pots is good clean fun with dirt!


Tickets are non refundable however if there is some unforeseen problem or act of

God to cancel this class these will be delivered to your door as a DIY project

complete with all the materials needed and instructions in a presentation

and online.
