Master Gardener David Cowan will lead a session on fruit trees and how to properly prune at the Mitchell School on February 10.
Learn how to prune fruit trees with a free tree pruning class offered by Wheeler SWCD on February 10.
A master gardener from Oregon State University will be at the Mitchell School on February 10 from 9am to 3:30 pm to offer a free workshop on tree pruning.
David Cowan, a certified OSU Master Gardener, will help new gardeners and even those with a green thumb to hone their pruning skills.
Focusing on fruit trees, Cowan aims to help gardeners build confidence with fruit trees and to understand the benefits of proper pruning techniques.
The content-rich workshop includes 3.5 hours in the classroom for instruction, demonstrations, survey of tools, and hands-on practice.
After the classroom instruction ends, participants will travel to a nearby orchard to take a stab at the real thing.
Cowan welcomes people of all experience levels and encourages attendees to bring their own pruning tools, but no electric or gas powered tools.
The one-day session starts at 9 AM on Wednesday, February 10 at the Mitchell School. The classroom instruction is from 9 AM to 12:30 PM. Hands on instruction will follow, from 1:15 PM to 3:30 PM.
