Air Pruned Raised Beds 101

Join Connor Youngerman of Cornell Small Farms and NYRP’s Parks & Urban Agriculture teams for an introduction to Air Pruned Raised Beds (APRBs) from construction to implementation. APRBs have been shown as an excellent method for growing a suite of urban tree species and hold great promise as a tool for forestry practitioners in NYC. This workshop will explore the in’s and outs of APRBs, including design, appropriate tree species, and basic troubleshooting (i.e. weeding). Participants will also get to help build and plant out two Air Pruned Raised Beds at NYRP’s field facility, the Sherman Creek Center.
