Welcome to our 2023 Fruit Tree Program:

We’ve started our Urban Farm Fruit Tree Education Program for 2023. The way our program works is that we offer fruit tree education throughout the year with monthly fruit tree chats online and then in the fall we schedule our core fruit tree classes.

You can pre-order your fruit trees and keep offering information to help you get prepared. Then, just like with a pumpkin lot at Halloween, we open at the perfect time to plant.

Generally the nursery is only open for about 20 days per year in two “seasons” for you to pick up your pre-ordered fruit trees. However, we do have small item pickup the rest of the year, and we are here for you at fruittrees@urbanfarm.org Download our 2023 catalogs for details!

STEP 1

Our education is designed specifically to lead you on the path to success! Everything you ever wanted to know about choosing, caring for, and harvesting from your trees - with updated and new classes for 2023.

Here at The Urban Farm Nursery, are very aware that the conditions our trees face these days are hotter, drier, and harsher. We’ve experienced losses and struggles too and know the heartbreak of having to remove a tree that did not thrive. We are also hearing from our customers who share their concerns, asking us to help out to save their trees. We care too much to not do something about it and help our customers take the steps towards fruit tree success.
