Fall Pruning for Your Trees and Shrubs

Join us for a free class in the Gresham Japanese Garden’s greenhouse for a discussion on what plants to prune in the F and HOW to prune them.

Jim Card, the Gresham Japanese Garden Director will be covering the basics of pruning, while using examples of the plants that are in the Gresham Japanese Garden. He will also cover:

• Basics of aesthetic pruning
• Plant grouping specifically to what plants want to be pruned in the Fall vs. Spring
• Principals of pruning and training
• Feeding and mulching for the Winter to promote Spring flowers and growth

Class will be held in the outside greenhouse behind the Resource Center (building closest to Springwater Trail).

Masks will be mandatory. Limited to 9 participants.
