Description

Early spring is the very best time to prune many shrubs. It’s easy to see the structure of the shrub, tell what is dead and alive, and prepare the shrub for vigorous, directed spring growth. Learn by doing in this hands-on workshop. Bring loppers and hand pruners if you have them. Beginners are welcome.

This class is also open to the public. Please include your landscape architect license number at registration so that we can file your CEUs.
