Holistic Orchard Management
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Cabrillo College Horticulture Building
(see times)
Holistic orcharding involves a wide breadth of knowledge and timeliness, yet one fact stands clear -- we can have beautiful fruit without chemical intervention. Michael's workshops point the way for organic fruit growers to meet their unique site challenges.
Growing flavorful, nutrient-dense fruit requires that we invest in a robust biology rather than react to symptoms. Dealing with disease from a holistic perspective requires an in-depth understanding of nutritional cause-and-effect. Biodiversity brings in untold connections. The challenges you face at your locale will become far more manageable as you build a holistic system that keeps trees and berry plantings healthy from the get-go.
These principals apply to all orchard fruit and nut crops as well as bush and cane fruits. Michael's insights will inspire participants to think about fruit culture in a new way.
Michael is a farmer who lives on Heartsong Farm in northern New Hampshire. Michael’s most recent book is The Holistic Orchard - Tree Fruits and Berries the Biological Way. This expands on his previous book, The Apple Grower: A Guide for the Organic Orchardist. Michael also leads the community orchard movement at https://www.GrowOrganicApples.com
The price is $20 in advance, $30 at the door.
Checks can be made out to: MB-CFRG
and mailed to: Nancy Moon, P.O. Box 525, Santa Cruz, CA 95061
checks must be received by January 20th.
The talk will be from 9:30 to 12:30 with a book signing from 12:30 to 1:00. Books will be available to purchase or bring your own copy to be signed.
