About this Event
Pawpaws are in season in October so this workshop will begin with the best possible introduction...TASTING! We will cover the natural history of pawpaw trees, which are both hardy here and almost entirely untroubled by pests and disease. We'll cover their site requirements and the specifics of germination, planting, pollination, harvest and use. Slides of Laurie's own fruiting trees and plenty of time for Q&A will round out the discussion.
Laurie Lockwood lives in Canterbury, NH, on land that's been farmed for over 200 years. The old garden plot has become raised permaculture beds, and new fruit tree guilds dot the surrounding area. Using understories of fruiting shrubs, aromatic herbs, and flowers, she grows pawpaws, pears, kiwis, elderberries, and sweet crabapples...so far.
