General Pruning With Steve Malsher - All Day
Event Information
About this Event
Learn the basics of pruning, beginning with appropriate tool use and care, making the correct cuts, and timing for shrubs and climbers in your garden. This is a talk and demonstration, so make sure that you arrive dressed for some outdoors teaching! The workshop is a combination of theory and demonstration. We begin under cover with the main theory and discuss all aspects of pruning and what tools to use. This is in the form of a Powerpoint presentation with additional plant material. Later in the day we will look at shrubs, trees and perennials in a garden situation and consider how they should be pruned.
Arrive at 10.15am for 10.30am start, finish at 3.00pm. A light lunch is included with complimentary refreshments. Please email or call the shop if you have any dietary requirements.
As this workshop is a combination of theory and demonstration come prepared for outdoor teaching with appropriate clothing. Please bring secateurs.
