Air Pruned Raised Beds: Overwintering or Harvesting Seedlings

• Friday, October 9, 2026, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

At this workshop we’ll be harvesting seedlings from the APRB that were planted in May of this year. Participants will also learn techniques for overwintering beds with or without seedlings and how to plant/heel in seedlings into a nursery area or your garden. Additional topics will include strategies for seed collection and storage for planting next spring. Requirements for selling nursery stock in NYS will also be addressed along with marketing ideas. This workshop is ideal for producers seeking to diversify into a new, efficient tree seedling production system.

The session will be led by Connor Youngerman, Agroforestry lead with the Cornell Small Farms Program. There is no charge for the workshop, however pre-registration is required, as participation is capped at 25.
