Many people are interested in having their very own fruit trees. The thought of  having a convenient source of fresh fruit is very appealing. However, caring for a fruit tree when just starting out can be an intimidating prospect.
This is where ECD's Pruning Workshop can help. This workshop and on-site demonstration at the Country Mill will show how to correctly care for your trees to get the most out of your investment.

For  more details and to RSVP, please call the Eaton Conservation District at 517-543-5848 ext.5.
