About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

A Free 'Pop Up' Shrub Pruning Demonstration

Pruning is essential for maintaining healthy and aesthetically pleasing shrubs and trees in your landscape, and it can also attract wildlife to your yard.

Healthy deciduous plants supply more flowers, fruits, and nuts for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife. Pruning evergreens promotes dense growth, creating better wildlife cover and nesting sites. Often, all that is needed for proper pruning is removing a dead branch or two; other times, heavy pruning is the best course of action.

Michael Nerrie, designer and steward of Distant Hill Gardens, will lead a hands-on pruning demonstration in the gardens.


This is a free 'Open Garden Day' event with your paid $10 entry fee.
