Both Jane & Greg cut their pruning teeth apprenticing under the Bullocks of Orcas, Island.

Jane has worked locally in Bellingham and Whatcom County since 2018 as a small tree arborist, orchardist and educator specializing in fruit tree training, maintenance and restoration pruning. Jane is passionate about sharing the joy of tree care with others and ensuring trees live up to their potential to feed the masses.

Greg Meyer is a horticulturist and landscaper specializing in designing and building edible and ecological gardens in and around Bellingham, WA. 

Fruit tree pruning is essential for reducing and controlling fruit tree disease as well as pest pressure; sculpting strong branch structure; and, increasing flower and fruit yields. This workshop will cover pruning theory, essential pruning tools, basic tool sharpening and pruning demonstrations. We will cap our learning session with hands-on participant pruning practice in the Chuckanut Center Orchard.  

Whether you are newly curious or have years of pruning experience under your belt, we'd love to share our enthusiasm for fruitful trees. Come join us March 15th at the Chuckanut Center!
