VIRTUAL Winter Pruning: When, Where & How to Prune Your Shrubs

Tuesday, December 6, 11am

Learn the basics of pruning deciduous shrubs, with an emphasis on structural pruning that can be done during winter, even for spring-flowering shrubs. You’ll come away with new insights and skills, including “how to” info on proper methods and tools. A lifelong gardener, Master Gardener Jan Weathers has a special passion for pruning. Initially self-taught, she (like many of us!) made her share of good cuts and bad until, as a Master Gardener trainee, she learned from professionals. Through advanced training and working side by side with horticulturists, Jan continues to perfect her skills and share them with other gardeners.
