Grow with Us- Proper Pruning Prevents Poor Plant Performance (Virtual)

N.C. Cooperative Extension - Guilford County Center and our N.C. State Extension Master Gardener program invite you to join us for:

Grow with Us- Proper Pruning Prevents Poor Plant Performance (Virtual)

Thursday, February 5, 2026

This is an ONLINE SEMINAR via ZOOM, presented by our Extension Master Gardener volunteers. The same program will be presented in-person at the Kathleen Clay Edwards Family Branch Library in Greensboro, NC on a different date. Click here to view the information and register for the in-person session.

The art of pruning does not mean shearing shrubs into green meatballs! Our discussion will cover the tools, techniques, and especially the timing for pruning ornamental small trees and shrubs. Learning to make the right choices is the easy way to have healthier, prettier, and longer‐lived landscape plants.

PLEASE NOTE: this program will not cover the specific pruning needs of fruit trees.

The talk is free - but capacity is limited. Please register to reserve the Zoom link.

This session will not be recorded. A program handout providing links to abundant resources and in-depth information will be made available to registrants via the email address provided in a reminder email 24 hours before the program. The handout will also be accessible after the session on our website.

If you encounter problems registering or if you have questions, please contact Holly Key (hmkey@ncsu.edu). Thank you for your interest in our "Grow with Us" programming!
