Join UK Extension for an orchard walk at the new Modern Orchard Systems and Climate Resilience Research and Extension Orchard at the University of Kentucky’s North Farm in Lexington. The event will begin with an open house/self-guided tour starting at 4 p.m. (EDT), then a guided tour and group discussion starting at 5 p.m. Participants will learn about new training systems and production techniques in apples, pears, and peaches as well as special considerations for pest and disease control in young orchards from UK extension faculty in horticulture, plant pathology, and entomology. This event will be useful for new growers interested in starting orchards and for existing producers who want to learn the most up-to-date techniques. Spanish translation will be provided for both written and oral materials; please bring a cell phone with head phone/ear bud capabilities.
