Residents in Sherwood Park, Alberta can learn how to keep their backyard orchards healthy during a Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop on March 14, 2026. The Strathcona County recreation department is hosting the event to help homeowners prepare for the upcoming spring growing season.

The session starts at 10:00 a.m. and focuses on teaching people the right way to trim their trees. According to the community events calendar, the workshop provides practical skills that can help trees produce more fruit.

Participants will get hands-on experience and learn techniques that are essential for long-term tree health. Proper pruning during the late winter or early spring helps trees grow better once the weather gets warmer.

The recreation department organizes these types of sessions to support local gardening and environmental care in the community. These small-group workshops allow residents to ask questions and gain confidence in managing their own backyard gardens.
