SUMMARY:Fruit Tree Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Fruit Tree Workshops: Pacific Rim Institute (January 24  — May 23\, 2026)\n\n\n\nThis series is ideal for home gardeners\, orchardists\, and anyone looking to grow better fruit in the Pacific Northwest. \n\n\n\nJoin local grower Dan Vorhis of Muscle and Arm Farm for a five-part Fruit Tree Workshop Series focused on choosing the right fruit trees for your space and learning how to care for them through the seasons. With a B.S. in Agriculture from The Ohio State University and 45 years of experience in fruit horticulture\, Dan shares practical\, easy-to-apply guidance on planting\, pruning\, and maintaining healthy\, productive trees. \n\n\n\nJanuary 24\, 2026 | Fruit Tree Selection and Care | 10:00am – 12:30pm\n\n\n\nThe introductory class on which the other classes build. Addresses cultivar selection\, rootstocks\, plant needs\, diseases and pests\, fertilizing\, and other important foundations of fruit horticulture.
Class Cost: $25 advance payment\, $30 at door. \n\n\n\nFebruary 28\, 2026 | Fruit Tree and Vine Pruning | 10:00am  – 1:00pm
\n\n\n\nClassroom portion addresses the science of pruning; field lab is hands-on in the orchard. Unless it is pouring down rain\, we’ll have the lab regardless of weather (which is usually cold and damp)\, so dress for it.
Class cost: $25 advance payment\, $30 at door. \n\n\n\nMarch 14\, 2026 | Bench Grafting | 10:00am  – 12:00pm
\n\n\n\nAddresses the science of grafting\, followed by a hands-on bench grafting lab (apple). Everyone goes home with their grafted tree. Bring your grafting knife if you have one. We provide the rootstock\, scion wood\, and necessary tools and materials.
Class cost: $30 advance payment\, $35 at door. Class size is limited. \n\n\n\nApril 25\, 2026 | Soil Science | 10:00am  – 12:00pm\n\n\n\n
Soil is the basis for much of plant agriculture. Knowing your soil is a little bit like knowing how your engine works when you drive a car\, or knowing a little about food science when you cook. Our focus in this class is to give you a basic understanding of key elements of soil science that bear directly on the health of your plants\, and what you can do about it.
Class cost: $25 advance payment\, $30 at door. \n\n\n\nMay 23\, 2026 | Maritime Figs | 10:00am  – 12:00pm\n\n\n\nGrow Fresh Figs Outdoors in Maritime Washington
Fresh figs are delicious\, and beneficial for your health. And fig trees produce very well on many sites on Whidbey Island.
However\, online information and even nursery catalogs are not always accurate. We will give you the information you need to decide if your site can reliably grow figs\, which cultivars we’ve cropped here\, which ones we are still testing\, and which to avoid. And we’ll show you how to reliably propagate your own trees. The class is made up of a 1 hour slideshow class with questions\, followed by an hour of hands-on propagation. You’ll go home with your own\, self-propagated tree.
Class cost: $25 advance payment\, $30 at door. \n\n\n\nPurchase Tickets HERE

Soil is the basis for much of plant agriculture. Knowing your soil is a little bit like knowing how your engine works when you drive a car\, or knowing a little about food science when you cook. Our focus in this class is to give you a basic understanding of key elements of soil science that bear directly on the health of your plants\, and what you can do about it.
Class cost: $25 advance payment\, $30 at door. \n\n\n\nMay 23\, 2026 | Maritime Figs | 10:00am  – 12:00pm\n\n\n\nGrow Fresh Figs Outdoors in Maritime Washington
Fresh figs are delicious\, and beneficial for your health. And fig trees produce very well on many sites on Whidbey Island.
However\, online information and even nursery catalogs are not always accurate. We will give you the information you need to decide if your site can reliably grow figs\, which cultivars we’ve cropped here\, which ones we are still testing\, and which to avoid. And we’ll show you how to reliably propagate your own trees. The class is made up of a 1 hour slideshow class with questions\, followed by an hour of hands-on propagation. You’ll go home with your own\, self-propagated tree.
Class cost: $25 advance payment\, $30 at door. \n\n\n\nPurchase Tickets HERE
