Hello everyone,
Due to the weather forecast for this weekend, we have decided to cancel the Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop that was scheduled for this Saturday, February 9th.
We plan to reschedule and will let you know when the new date has been set (tentatively for February 23). If you cannot make the new date (I will send a follow up email in the coming days to confirm the date), please let me know ASAP so that I can allow waitlisted folks to sign up.
Thank you!
