LLHG 567 - The Art of Pruning

Proper pruning enhances the beauty of almost any landscape tree and shrub. It is an art and science, and when done well, pruning can turn a landscape plant into a thing of beauty. This class, intended for those with limited pruning experience, will address the specific pruning needs and techniques associated with flowering trees and shrubs, vines, and groundcovers, as well as the shaping of hedges. Each session will include a hands-on, outdoor component, so please wear appropriate clothing and bring gloves and hand pruners. For fruit tree pruning, please take Fabulous Fruit Trees, LLHG 554.
