The Fruit Pruning Workshop at Meig’s Horticultural Research Farm on Tuesday was a great success, with 52 attendees eager to refine their pruning skills. The unusually warm weather made for a very enjoyable day in the orchard and vineyard. The event featured sessions covering a variety of fruit crops: Karen Mitchell guided participants through apple pruning techniques, Miranda Purcell demonstrated proper grape pruning methods, and Chloe Henscheid provided insights on bramble pruning. In addition to hands-on pruning instruction, attendees also learned essential tool care practices, including sharpening and cleaning.
A special thank you to the Area 9 Purdue Extension Educators for hosting this valuable workshop and the Meig’s Farm staff for providing a great learning environment for all who attended.
