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.

Meet at 10.15am for complimentary coffee and cake. The workshop commences at 10.30am with a lunch break at 1pm, recommence for the final session at 1.45pm to 3.30pm. This workshop will include a packed lunch, please call the shop for further details as we will need your meal choices. Please bring secateurs.
