A beautiful landscape relies on its trees and shrubs for structure. We like to think of them as the woody, perennial heart of your garden! Learn how pruning the appropriate plants at the correct times of the year will make your garden flourish.

This workshop begins with a discussion of the different pruner styles and sizes, and how to keep this most important tool in tip-top pruning condition. Then we demonstrate on both deciduous and evergreen tree & shrub pruning methods paired with our handy tips of the trade. Make sure your landscape is healthy going into winter this year and you’ll be (at least) two steps ahead when spring rolls around again next year!

To help you through your new adventures in pruning, all participants will receive a $5 Van Putte voucher toward pruners, trees, shrubs, or anything else you might need from the garden center!
