Burnt Ridge Nursery and Orchards in Onalaska will host weekly organic gardening classes this summer. In the first session, we will discuss how to plan gardens and home orchards and ways to add trees, shrubs, and vines to your existing landscape. We’ll also touch on planting for pollination, nitrogen fixation, sod removal, and mulching. Presented by Ben Kunesh, on staff horticulturalist.
We’ll discuss the wide world of unusual and underappreciated fruits, including quince, medlar, persimmon, mulberry and the elusive Sorbus domestica (aka “chocolate pear”). We will also talk about the benefits of planting rare trees and what you can do with the fruit.
Join nutritionist Ashley McEntyre, as she walks you through healthy recipes featuring fall produce from local farm: Newaukum Valley Farm. Attendees take home a box of beautiful produce to cook for themselves–a $25 value!
(Please note produce in picture is an example of what might be included.)
