Feel Empowered to Prune
04/14/24, 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm Barbara Dorfman
With the right tools, gardeners and homeowners can do the job themselves or supervise family members, instead of being at the mercy of unskilled landscapers with hedge trimmers and chainsaws.
"Feel Empowered to Prune" will cover:
- Tools that make the job easy
- How shrubs and trees will respond to thinning and heading cuts
- How to renew overgrown shrubs or previously butchered shrubs
- When you can ignore the rules on the right time of year to prune.
