Blueberry Pruning Workshop

Love juicy, sweet just-picked blueberries from your own bushes? Not sure how to keep them performing at their best? Join Master Gardeners for an in-person, hands-on workshop on blueberry pruning. Step one is to view a recorded video at home on blueberry pruning basics: when to prune, choosing which canes to cut, and where to cut them.

Step two is to join us in-person from 10am to noon, on Feb. 12 at the 78th Street Heritage Farm blueberry demonstration field to practice your skills. This entails a 5 – to 10-minute walk up a steep hill. Those with mobility issues may drive. Dress for the weather and bring water, garden gloves, and a pair of sharpened loppers or hand bypass pruners if you have them. Masks and social distancing will be required. Space is limited and participants will work in small groups.

Cost: $5. No admission without advance registration. For more information:(564) 397-5738 or Erika.d.johnson@wsu.edu. Visit us online at http://extension.wsu.edu/clark/gardening/workshops-events/.
