Workshop - Pruning 101 for Roses and More

Pruning 101 for Roses and More

Learn the reasons that climbing roses, rose bushes, and fruit-bearing trees are pruned and shaped throughout the seasons, as well as the best techniques for accomplishing these tasks. This will be a hands-on workshop because there is no better way to cement new knowledge than to apply it under guided instruction.

Instructor:  Kathryn Parker 

This workshop will be led by Kathryn Parker, who has earned biology and chemistry degrees and teaches at Grossmont and City Colleges. She will draw on her 40 years of pruning experience as she explains the do's and don'ts in the multi-faceted garden of Stephen Zolezzi.
