Join me at the Gardiner Library in Gardiner, New York, for two hours packed with fig knowledge! Discover the care, and cultivation of fig trees, along with tips and tricks to help your fig-growing journey thrive. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, this workshop is for you!
Description
You’ll dive into the fascinating history of figs and uncover the secrets to successfully growing these incredible trees. We’ll explore the advantages and disadvantages of cultivating figs in pots versus planting them in the ground, delve into essential techniques like branch and root pruning, and discuss best practices for watering and caring for both potted and in-ground fig trees.
You’ll also learn how to shape your fig tree—whether you prefer it as a stately tree or a compact, productive bush—and discover effective methods for winterizing to protect your plants during colder months.
Come prepared with your questions for an open and interactive discussion! A friendly word of caution: cultivating fig trees is not just a hobby—it’s a passion that can become highly addictive. You’ve been warned!
