Join CT NOFA this Saturday in Ridgefield, CT, for a hands-on workshop on establishing native trees and shrubs on farmland and properties throughout Connecticut. The workshop will be held from 3-6pm at The Hickories, 136 Lounsbury Road in Ridgefield. The cost is $20.
We’ll take a look at planning, planting, and maintenance of trees and shrubs at The Hickories over the years. Demonstrations will include site selection, soil preparation, and sourcing of appropriate plant material for specific locations.
The workshop includes support from experienced growers with a focus on native woody trees and shrubs; hazelnut, inkberry, winterberry, witch hazel, viburnums, pussy willow, and black willow, as well as ecotypic pollinators.
AOLCPs from CT NOFA’s Organic Land Care Program will earn CEUs for attending this field day, and may do so for free. Visit the OLC website for more information on receiving an AOLCP discount code.
