Have you ever wondered how to properly prune the trees and shrubs in
your yard? Now is your chance to learn at the first ever GREEN STICK
WORKSHOP! This hands-on learning experience will equip you with the
knowledge you need to start cutting!Following an Introduction to
Pruning and Pruning Fundamentals, attendees will participate in three
workshop activities. The first two activities will focus on the proper
methods for pruning roses and crape myrtle trees. The third activity
will include pruning tool selection and care. The program will end
with a Q&A session.
Attendance for the workshop is limited to the first 60 adults to
register. The presentations are designed with information for adults,
but children will be allowed to accompany parents or guardians. Any
children attending must remain under an adult’s supervision. No pets
are allowed. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own pruning
snips. Gloves and long-sleeved shirts are recommended for the rose
pruning activity.
