In addition to offering hands-on workshops, online, and printed resources focused on orchard care, the POP team has been working on new video resources for some of the most important orchard care tasks. The nine-part video series below, on winter pruning, was published in early 2022, and is intended to complement the online and in-person workshops for POPCORE 1: Pruning and Eco-Orchard Care.

We will also be including more videos focused on orchard care throughout the seasons, as well as sharing some stories about POP’s volunteers, partners, and programs. Videos can also be found on POP’s YouTube channel: subscribe today so you don’t miss out on new releases! We also invite you to visit POP’s Resource page and blog for ecological orchard care tips, plant info sheets, school lesson plans, and more.
