Fruits and Nuts for Alaskan Gardens

​​ 

     Josh Smith will be presenting information on growing fruits and nut trees in Alaska. He also will be addressing native plant propagation methods.

      Josh Smith operates Bear Mountain Nursery in Peter’s Creek, Alaska. If you haven't heard of him before, well, you won’t forget after his presentation. Josh has been working to unlock the secrets to propagating native Alaskan berries and plants from seed, as well as pioneering research into growing hardy strains of hazelnuts and other nuts and fruits that normally wouldn't grow in Alaska. He’ll share and show his process and if we are lucky, he’ll bring some plants with him as well.
