Pruning Blueberries

The Polly Hill Arboretum and Susan Murphy, proprietor of Murphy Blueberry Farm in Chilmark, will host a hands-on workshop in the technique of pruning blueberries on Saturday, Jan. 31, from 10 a.m. to noon.

Learn how proper pruning can stimulate growth to insure a bumper crop of berries on these native Vineyard shrubs. The workshop focuses on correct pruning techniques for both old mature plants and younger shrubs. Meet at the Murphy farm, dressed for the weather with your pruners, if you have them.

For directions and to register, call 508-693-9426. The cost is $24, or $20 for members.
