Thursday Blueberry Pruning Demonstration and Workday

Lee County Cooperative Extension is excited to partner with local homeowner Helen Spitler, who has inherited a large, 50-year-old blueberry patch, to host a Blueberry Pruning and Care Workshop in February 2025. The class will include an overview of blueberry care, a guide to restoration and maintenance pruning, and an opportunity to practice your newly-learned skills on the blueberry bushes there with expert guidance. The fee for attendance is $15 a person.

We are offering two dates for you to attend: Thursday, February 13, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Sunday, February 16, 2 to 4 p.m., and the class will be led by Amanda Bratcher, the horticulture agent in Lee County.
