Central Gorge Master Gardeners will be holding a training class on how to care for home orchard trees on March 6, and it will be open to the public. It will be taught by OSU Hood River and Wasco County Extension tree fruit horticulturist Ashley Thompson. Attendees will learn about establishing and caring for a home fruit tree orchard. The Master Gardeners’ Eric Bosler says since the Central Gorge is a major commercial tree fruit area, it is important that home orchards are properly cared for. This class is being offered free of charge to everyone as a service of OSU Hood River County Extension Central Gorge Master Gardeners. No pre-registration is needed. It will be held at Hood River Valley Christian Church on the evening of March 6. Arrive by 5:50 p.m. as class begins promptly at 6:00 p.m.
