Edible Flint

Tomorrow, April 4th, is projected to be warm and a little rainy- the perfect day for you to come hangout in the hoophouse with us at the Edible Flint Educational Farm and do some garden bed prep and spring planting - We will be at the farm 10am-12:30pm. Come volunteer with us, we have all the tools and gloves you need! 🌷

You know spring is in the air at the Edible Flint Educational Farm when MSU Extension stops by to host their Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop!

We loved seeing many new faces join us to learn about the early spring pruning that helps keep Michigan fruit trees flourishing - We even had some little future farmers come by to leave trinkets for our fairies and clean up the fairy tree, they love a good spring clean-up too! 🧚‍♀️

MSUE has so many resources to help guide you when caring for fruit trees. Check out their resource for pruning here: https://www.canr.msu.edu/resources/smart-gardening-pruning-and-training-backyard-apple-and-pear-trees
