Pruning Workshop - Three Part Series 

Note this 3rd event has been postponed until Friday, July 16th because of the hurricane. Please call our office with questions. Thank you for your understanding!

Join Nick Scheu, Landscape Director, and learn how to prepare for pollinators and improve the fruiting performance of your trees and shrubs. Learn or refresh your knowledge for the What, Why, When and How’s of pruning for health and yield. A discussion of tools and techniques needed to perform this early season ritual efficiently and effectively will begin at the Gatehouse. Then, as a group we will venture down to the Orchard and Highbush Blueberry collection to practice our skills. This is a hands-on workshop with practical information to take home. Dress appropriately for weather. All necessary tools will be provided.

Cost: $5 Members, $10 Non-members. Advance registration is required as space is limited to 10 per session. CLASS IS FULL, CALL THE OFFICE 603-763-4789 x3 TO BE ADDED TO THE WAIT LIST.
