    Learn how you can skillfully prune shrubs and small trees to achieve a pleasing natural shape and abundant flowering. In this evening lecture and Saturday workshop, you will have the opportunity to see demonstrations designed to help you master pruning concepts and gain confidence. The course will cover formative pruning for young trees and proper pruning techniques for larger, older trees. It will also cover naturalistic pruning techniques for creating attractive hedges and methods for reducing overgrown shrubbery. This class meets twice. Please bring hand pruners and a small pruning saw to the Saturday session.
