Growing Fruit 101 with Joy

Growing Fruit 101

At Reems Creek Nursery

Saturday, Feb. 28

10 - 11:30 AM

With Joy Lew

Join us for a lighthearted romp through the many tasty possibilities that await your Western North Carolina garden. Whether you’re serious about self-sufficiency or just want a snack-filled backyard, we’ll cover site selection, growing basics & care, and many great plant options – including fruiting trees, shrubs, vines, and groundcovers. Some unusual and experimental plants that can be grown in containers will also be covered.

Sorry, but we will not be covering fruit tree pruning during this workshop.

This workshop is FREE, but please pre-register as space is limited.
