Alabama farmers and homeowners interested in learning how to grow Christmas trees are invited to attend a Christmas tree workshop, hosted by Alabama Extension. It will be held on April 5 at the Farm House Café in Thorsby, Alabama.
Sign in will begin at 9:30 a.m. with the classroom educational session being held from 10 a.m. to noon. It will cover topics essential for first-time growers. After lunch, the workshop will relocate to Neeley Farms for field demonstrations, additional instruction and Q-and-A.
The deadline to register is March 28.
Auburn University’s Jeremy Pickens will help lead the workshop as well as other Christmas tree farmers with more than 30 years of experience.
