January is almost gone and with the mild temperatures the plum trees are budding! We have scheduled the pruning party for 2/21 (Saturday).
We will start early (9:00 a.m.) and work until we finish. Dave Allie our resident arborist will be on hand to give a brief lesson before you climb into the old apple and pear trees and get to work. We have a pot luck as well and generally have a really fun day rain or shine.
Please bring any useful tools and label with your name: pruning shears, loppers, tree saw, gloves (don’t worry if you don’t have them, we will have extras available to share) and a dish to share.
We were featured on the local Portland area CSA website:

Check it out and share with your friends. We are open and accepting new members for 2015. We start the week of April 15th.
