Fruit Tree Paradise Workshop

SweetSong Groves hosts another Fruit Tree Paradise Workshop. This 3-hour class in fruit tree horticulture is a complete introduction to fruit tree horticulture in the Sarasota area, for both beginning and intermediate growers,. Topics include

• the seven basic horticultural concerns
• grafted trees — why you (usually) want one
• fertilization
• how to plant
• how to prune
• how to buy a tree
• diseases and insect pests
• growing in containers
• fruit tree clubs

The horticultural topics are illustrated in a hands-on fashion that include tours of SweetSong’s groves.

The current (and ever-evolving) version of the notes is free:  Fruit Tree Paradise Workshop Notes. The cost to attend the workshop is $25 per person ($35 per couple), all donated to Transition Sarasota, a local non-profit non-political organization dedicated to local food and local business in our community. Students and those in financial need may take the class at no cost. Pre-registration is required, as the class size is limited.
