This 2-hour slideshow covers basic cuts, basic plant habits, and what Cass Turnbull called 'the pruning budget.' Then five plants which are relatively easy to prune are dealt with specifically: nandina, evergreen azalea, lilac, camellia, and yew.

This lecture series is designed for those who work in landscape maintenance. Classes last two hours and are held on every other Thursday. Each lecture provides information on tools and techniques for quality pruning with better long-term results and customer satisfaction.

Classes held in partnership with PlantAmnesty.

Cost: $35/class. Discount available for series registrations and PlantAmnesty members.
