Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop

Join us in the Orchard & Gardens for an immersive Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop in collaboration with our partners at Community Foodcapes.

Join us in Ry’s Orchard & Gardens for an immersive Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop in collaboration with our longtime partners at Community Foodscapes (CoFo). This hands-on gathering is designed for gardeners, homesteaders, and land stewards who want to confidently care for their fruit trees using regenerative, self-sustaining practices.

Fruit tree pruning is both an art and a science—and it’s not always intuitive. CoFo’s experienced educators bring deep knowledge in regenerative land care, guiding participants through proper pruning techniques, seasonal timing, and the “why” behind each cut. Together with Ry’s Table, we’ll explore how intentional pruning supports long-term tree health, increases fruit productivity, and strengthens the overall ecosystem.

The day includes farm-to-table seasonal grazing brunch, featuring fresh, locally sourced foods, local coffee, and warm mulled cider. When available, Ry also offers plant divisions or fresh cuttings from the day’s pruning, so you may leave with living pieces to continue growing your own foodscape at home.

In This Workshop, You’ll Receive:

• Hands-on fruit tree pruning skills (no guesswork!)
• Regenerative techniques for healthier, more productive trees
• Tools to monitor tree health & prevent disease
• Knowledge of soil rehabilitation & long-term land care

• Seasonal grazing brunch
• Warm Drinks
• Possible plant cuttings or divisions to take home
