Event Type

Late winter is the best time for pruning trees and shrubs. This workshop on March 22 will provide the basic info needed to start you down the (garden) path to pruning success. This time we’ll be travelling to Weston Nurseries in Chelmsford where Nursery Manager Jim Connolly will present “Pruning Basics” using an array of live trees and shrubs from the nursery’s stock to demonstrate proper pruning techniques. He will conclude with an in-depth Q&A providing ample time for discussion of specific pruning challenges. And, as an added attraction, a vendor will be available on-site to provide tool-sharpening services (for a fee) during Jim’s presentation.

Now you definitely want to add a new woodie or two to your garden, right? As added encouragement, each “Pruning Basics” attendee will receive a valuable Weston Nurseries coupon, so plan on taking a new woodie home, along with your newly-sharpened pruning tools and a head full of new gardening knowledge!

The February and March programs are made possible by a generous grant from the Shirley Charitable Foundation.

This event includes our houseplant swap and gardening book/catalog/magazine swap.

Note: Most of our events are rain or shine. If we do postpone due to weather, members will receive an email notification and we'll update the event details here on the website.
