Proper pruning is more than just cutting branches. It is the selective removal of diseased, damaged, dead, non-productive or structurally unsound material from trees and landscape plants in order to promote healthy growth, shape and bigger flowers or fruits.
To get really good results, you need to understand what to cut and more importantly, what to leave.  Timing and knowing what to remove are critical. Our experts will lead small groups around the property to demonstrate techniques, tools and how to select parts of the plant to cut.
Upcoming workshops will be "Snow Thrower Use and Safely", "Basic Tile/Grout Repair" and "Basic Electrical – Replacing:Outlets, Switches, Ballasts and Light Fixtures."
