Winter Workshop Series: Pruning Grapes & Kiwis: Saturday, January 11th, 2025 11am - 1pm
Join us in the HOEC Community Orchard for this hands-on workshop to learn how far to cut back your grape and kiwi vines without sacrificing their fruiting potential for the following year. Do you know where the fruiting zones are? How about spacing, supporting, and controlling that tangle of vines? We will talk about growth habits, site selection, and trellis design. We’ll make sure you leave at the end of the class knowing what part of these plants produces fruit, and having had the opportunity for some hands-on practice on our vines here in the Orchard!
Please Note: The kiwi portion of this class will be mainly demonstration, and the grape portion will be hands-on.
BONUS: All students will get to take home some cuttings to start their own plants! Please bring your own plastic bags, masking tape, and permanent marker for labeling.
Need financial assistance to attend? Request a workshop fee waiver!
Know Before You Go:
If you have them, please bring bypass hand pruners, loppers, and a pruning saw; If you don’t have your own, you may borrow from our stash.
Please bring safety glasses or other eye protection.
If you plan to take home cuttings, bring your own plastic bags, masking tape, and permanent marker for labeling.
All workshops are held outdoors rain or shine. Please dress appropriately for the weather!
Winter Weather Advisory:
If the CCC campus closes due to inclement weather, the Home Orchard Education Center will also be closed and any scheduled workshops will be rescheduled for a later date. Extreme weather closure alerts can be found here: https://www.clackamas.edu/
Refunds:
Due to limited class space, please note: workshops are non-refundable after purchase, with the exception of weather-related campus closures when rescheduling the workshop is not possible.
We look forward to learning with you!
