Learn How to Prune Your Trees and Bushes in the Spring

Join us for a free class in the Gresham Japanese Garden’s greenhouse for a discussion on what plants to prune in the Spring 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
• Principals of pruning and training
• Feeding and mulching

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