Event Description

Registration Required. This is the perfect time of the season to plant fruits in Philadelphia. Instructor Phil Forsyth from the Philadelphia Orchard Project comes to Greensgrow to give you the basics of growing berries and brambles, from plant selection to planting to pruning. We'll discuss common fruits like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries and introduce some more unusual options like goumis, gooseberries, and bush cherries.

Instructor Phil Forsyth is the director of the Philadelphia Orchard Project, a non-profit that plants community orchards in the city.
