Spring 2024 - Week 1

As previous crops begin to sprout and the purchasing of new plants has begun, Phoenix Farms is excited to welcome in a new spring season of gardening!

Located across from the First Presbyterian Church in Hyde Park, our plot is gearing up a whole new selection of plants and continued tree growth to be enjoyed by the local community.

Pictured above are some of our trees currently being cultivated on the plot — two cherry trees and two apple trees! All four are still pretty young, so all flower buds are pruned off to encourage further growth of leaves and the tree itself. This prevents the tree from exerting too much energy on producing fruit which could also break its thin branches.
