Workshop: Shrub Pruning

How exactly are you supposed to prune that holly shrub in your backyard? Join Horticulturist Ryan Devlin and Gardener Maren Gunning for this practical workshop to find out what kinds of cuts to make and where, so that you can make sure your shrubs are looking their best going into the next growing season.

Participants will not be making their own cuts in this workshop, but will see different types of pruning cuts and learn which cuts to use.
