Are you dreaming of growing your own fruit trees but unsure where to
start? Join us for Backyard Orchard Planning, a beginner-friendly
class designed to help you lay the groundwork for a thriving home
orchard. Steph Sosinski, Home Horticulture Program Manager for the UNH
Cooperative Extension, will guide you through key considerations for
site selection, soil preparation, tree selection, and orchard layout.
Learn how to choose the best fruit varieties for your space and
climate, understand the basics of pruning, and set your trees up for
long-term success. Whether you’re planting one tree or a full orchard,
this class will give you the knowledge and confidence to grow your own
fruit.

In addition, we’ll have a live planting demonstration after the class
so you can watch and learn how to plant your fruit trees to ensure
they’ll thrive in their new home!
