Home Gardner Series 2024: Have you ever
wanted to learn the basics of home gardening, from plant identification and
pruning, to soil and plant care? Are you an experienced gardener who is looking
to improve your skills or gain a deeper understanding of important concepts
like pruning, sustainability or soil testing/management? Join us for this
yearlong series of workshops and classes designed to give gardeners, of all
experience levels, the tools and knowledge to properly care for their gardens.
No matter how small or large your garden is, you will gain new insights through
this series of classes and hands-on workshops that take place here at New
England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill. The Pruning
Workshops are performed in the garden and reflect the instructor’s five pruning
windows during the year to accomplish specific tasks unique to the plants and
time of year.
PLANT ID: EVERGREEN (CONIFEROUS) AND DECIDUOUS TREES: Walk through the garden to improve your identification
skills of Evergreen and Deciduous Trees. We will use our horticultural
knowledge of leaves/needles, flowers/cones and other parts to properly identify
species. We might also cheat with some available technology on our phones.
It
is highly recommended that participants take the Intro to Horticultural Science
and Botany class (May 11th) as a prerequisite.
Instructor: Reed Pugh
All classes
will be taught by Reed Pugh of Barking Dog Gardens. Reed's first career was in
advertising in New York City, but after moving to San Francisco over 25 years
ago, he made a life-altering change and went back to school for ornamental
horticulture. Over the years in San Francisco and Boston he has worked in
multiple nurseries, had his own design, installation and maintenance businesses
on both coasts, managed a 30-acre historic private estate in Brookline, and
managed one of the top fine-gardening companies in New England. Reed is a
Massachusetts Certified Horticulturist (MCH), and for the past few years he has
been teaching our very popular Seasonal Pruning series.
