Prune the Moon 2021!

  • Moon-Randolph Homestead 1515 Spurlock Road Missoula, MT, 59802 United States (map)

At our annual Prune the Moon workshop, learn the art of restoring old apple trees in the Moon-Randolph Homestead’s historic orchard! Get tickets!

Learn the long and slow process of bringing an aging or neglected tree back into production, while getting to know some of the 130-year-old apple trees in the historic Moon-Randolph orchard. Both new and experienced pruners are encouraged to attend and help the Homestead maintain the health and vigor of its heritage apple orchard.

Pruning starts at 1p.m. We will break for food at 4 p.m. Coffee, food, and cider provided.

$10-25 suggested donation per adult. Children are free. Find tickets here.

Be sure to wear a mask, gloves, appropriate clothing for cold and wet spring weather. Don't forget drinking water and the desire to get to know a tree. For those with pruning equipment, bring along handsaws, pole saws, loppers, hand shears, and orchard ladders, etc. There will be plenty of tools for the empty-handed.

No dogs please.
