You’d think growing fruit trees would be easy. You just plant them, water the, and wait for the harvest, right? Well, that’s not quite the case. Fruit trees are delicate and need hands-on care, especially when planted in the challenging Urban environment.

She trains arborists, master gardeners, community orchardists, and home orchardists in fruit tree care skills through her in-person and online workshops, webinars, monthly newsletters, and monthly radio show and podcast.
