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.

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.

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.
