Virtual POPCORE 1: Pruning & Eco-Orchard Care Workshop

Join us for the first session of our virtual 2022 POPCORE urban orchardist training course. Led by Philadelphia Orchard Project staff, this workshop will provide a look at ecological orchard care through the seasons and focus on winter pruning of fruit trees, berry bushes, and fruiting vines.

POPCORE combines many elements of orchard stewardship, ecosystem design, and food uses that POP has learned over the past 15 years. This four part series is intended to grow the knowledge, skillset, and self-reliance of our community orchard partners and volunteers, resulting in happier, healthier, and more productive community orchards.

Those completing all four classes over any two year period will receive POPCORE Urban Orchardist Certification!
