This webinar is for people who are new to gardening or are looking to build a solid base of knowledge to prune shrubs and ornamental trees confidently and properly. The presentation will cover tools and their care, how to properly make cuts, structural, aesthetic and renovative pruning, the importance of timing for specific shrubs and ornamental trees, the theory of pruning, and utilize specific plants to answer the questions: why we prune plants, what tools do we use, how do we decide what branches and stems to prune, and when do we prune? This webinar will help with the most common question heard with pruning, "where do I start?" and give you the confidence to keep going!
