Master Pruning Series This Month At Center For Urban Horticulture

UW Botanic Gardens’ Center for Urban Horticulture (3501 NE 41^st Street)  is offering "Master Pruner Series" classes this week for landscape professionals.  Each 2 hour lecture is $30.

Sasha, Educational Assistant for CUH said about the classes:

The series is primarily designed for people who work in landscape maintenance, design, or other horticultural professions. However, we have had non-professionals such as Master Gardeners, and experienced home gardeners attend with no problem. It contains more advanced materials.

 

Here are the classes:

Master Pruner Series:

January 14, 9:30am – Tree Pruning I

January 14, 12:30pm – Rose Pruning

January 28, 9:30am – Tree Pruning II

Each lecture provides information on tools and techniques for quality pruning with better long-term results and customer satisfaction.
