N.C. Cooperative Extension - Lee County Center is excited to partner with local muscadine grower, AK Griffin, in Broadway to teach folks about how to tame their muscadine grape vines.

The class will include an overview of muscadine care, a guide to restoration and maintenance pruning, and an opportunity to practice your newly-learned skills on the muscadine vines there with expert guidance.

The fee for attendance is $15 a person. This will be hands-on, so wear sturdy clothes and feel free to bring your own pruning tools. If the weather is not ideal, we will make a rain date based on registrants!

ADDRESS  WILL BE SHARED WITH REGISTERED PARTICIPANTS ONLY

Date: Sunday, February 11, 2024, 2 to 4 p.m., and the class will be led by Amanda Wilkins, the horticulture agent in Lee County.

Registration and prepayment is required by Tuesday, February 6, 2024.
