Grape Pruning Workshop April 13, 10:00am to 1:00 pm

Whether you are interested in making your own wine from you own grapes, or taming that unruly grape vine in the backyard to get a taste of a grape or two before the birds get to them, we have a workshop for you, free and open to the public! Pruning is the key to success with grapes, as well as choosing the optimal varieties for our area. Learn about grape culture in NW Wisconsin by a seasoned professional!

This workshop will provide participants with a list of appropriate varieties that can be grown in the region and stress the importance of proper site selection and trellising. Grapes are very vigorous and can benefit from proper training and pruning.

The program will include a short indoor presentation in the Ag Station meeting hall, followed by a hands-on pruning demonstration in the horticulture display garden.
