Basic Fruit Tree Care and Planting

Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2016 – Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2016

US/Central

Attracting butterflies and fostering good bird habitat, fruit trees are evergreens with fragrant flowers. Instructor Angela Chandler will teach you the basics of fruit tree selection, planting, care and maintenance. Explore the types of citrus available, how to grow them, and where seeds and saplings can be obtained.  If you don't have enough space, fruit trees can also be grown in containers!

Angela Chandler holds specialist certifications in Plant Propagation, Entomology, Rainwater Harvesting, and Greenhouse Management. She enjoys teaching a variety of garden subjects and authors a monthly gardening article in the Houston Chronicle, Real Estate Section sponsored by Urban Harvest.

This class is also offered on February 17 at 10 am
