    Join us in person for our ongoing POPCORE urban orchardist training course at the orchard at Bartram's Garden, one of POP's most established and diverse orchard sites.  This session is intended as a hands-on compliment to the virtual version of POPCORE, but prior attendance of any other session is not needed. All are welcome! 

    Pre-registration, masks, and social-distancing required.

    • HANDS-ON Scouting and Identification of pests & diseases

    • HANDS-ON Application of management techniques including fruit thinning, fruit bagging, compost tea and neem oil applications, OFM mating disrupters, and beneficial insect releases

    The POPCORE training course combines many elements of orchard stewardship, ecosystem design, and food uses that POP has learned over the past fourteen years.  This four part series is intended to grow the knowledge, skillset, and self-reliance of our community orchard partners and volunteers, resulting in happier, healthier, and more productive community orchards.
