Join Instructor Jennifer Kettell, consulting arborist from Radiant Leaf Pruning, for a hands-on pruning workshop on Saturday, May 16, from 10 a.m. to noon, using bushes in the landscape at the library. Flowering shrubs can be a bit more complicated than pruning trees. When shrubs have been improperly pruned or just left to their own devices, they begin to resemble what pruners refer to as The Green Helmet. Learn how to avoid The Green Helmet and maintain shrubs’ natural habits with selective and timely pruning.
