How To Prune and Renovate the Overgrown Landscape
An introduction to basic pruning and creative solutions for the overgrown or over-planted landscape. Pruning techniques according to the natural habits of trees and shrubs will be explained. Participants will gain insight into the process of landscape renovation, with pruning as a component of garden restoration.
Five Easy Plants to Prune
Introduction to shrub pruning, with a review of the basic growth habits, the basic cuts used, and the “pruning budget”. This talk will focus on five plants which are relatively easy to prune: nandina, evergreen azalea, lilac, camellia, and yew.
Pro-Hort provides classes geared to professionals seeking credits for recertification (for example, International Society of Arboriculture or WSDA pesticide recertification credits). However, everyone is welcome to register for these classes
