Backyard Organic Orcharding
Orchards have played an important role in communities for many centuries. A home fruit orchard can conveniently provide tasty, fresh fruits for family consumption. One can also have cultivars that may not otherwise be readily available at grocery stores or local orchards. A well-established and maintained home orchard also enhances the appearance of the home landscape as specimen, border, espaliered or trellised plants, while producing food for the family. This two-part workshop covers the requirements for growing fruit trees in the home garden. Part 1: Classroom Education at WSU Spokane County Extension We take you through the steps of planning your home orchard; recommended varieties; soil and cultural requirements; pruning and pest control including organic strategies. Part 2: On-site Education We will meet in Cheney, WA to see a home orchard in action. There will be a tree planting demonstration and students will pick up their fruit tree.
