Saturday June 3, 10:30am-12:30pm Limited to 20 per class, preregistration required. The workshop is mostly outside, so dress for the weather.
There are lots of mid-summer tasks to do in the vineyard and orchard. Summer pruning on fruit trees can save time and headaches during dormant season pruning. Learn how to thin fruit and prune your fruit trees and grape vines for best fruit quality.
- Please note, this workshop will take place mostly outside of the classroom environment for up to 2 hours and involves walking 45 minutes or more and standing on uneven and unpaved ground. If you would like us to provide seating for you during this time outside, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance of the workshop. Wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility aids are welcome but in some areas may be difficult (unpaved or grassy areas).

This workshop walks you through best practices for managing your vineyard in the hot summer months. The class will cover shoot positioning, summer pruning, bunch thinning, water management, and disease management. All of these techniques are critical to the production of quality grapes for eating and winemaking. Be prepared to be outside.
We ship plants from mid-February to late April to all states within the U.S., as weather and state agricultural restrictions permit. Because we are unable to guarantee the success and health of your plant outside of the U.S., we do not currently ship to other countries.
