TAMING EARLY SEASON BLOOMERS

Wednesday January 15, 2025 

1:30 PM - 2:30 PM

During the summer excitement, it can be challenging to remember to return to the early-season lovelies! Once spring-blooming shrubs have flowered, we need to assess and complete any pruning before next year’s flower buds develop. Jen will focus your attention on which shrub species should be pruned midsummer, illustrate proper pruning techniques, and discuss how to prune to encourage healthy, vibrant blooms for years to come.

CEU Credits:  TBD
