MASTER THE SCIENCE AND ART OF PRUNING!!!!!!  

Pruning is an important cultural practice used to maintain health, safety, vigor and appearance of woody plants. It involves both art and science – art, in shaping plants in harmony with their growth habit to enhance the landscape, and science, in knowing how, when, where and why to prune for maximum benefit.

MSU Extension Senior Horticulture Educator (retired), Rebecca Finneran will lead the interactive online Zoom workshops that are designed to help participants learn best practices for pruning and the proper equipment it takes for each job. You will be able to ask questions and interact with the instructor. And, prior to the workshop you have selected, you will have the option to submit photos for discussion and analysis, as time allows.

Following the January and March online workshops, Hands-on Outdoor Pruning Workshops will be organized in various Michigan locations. You will be notified about the dates, times and locations and can then register to select the hands-on workshop that works best for you, if applicable. There will be a separate fee for the Hands-on Outdoor Pruning Workshop.

If you are a Certified/Re-certified Michigan State University Extension Master Gardener or Trainee, you may report 4 continuing education hours for the online pruning workshop you attend or watch via recording.

For your convenience, this workshop is being offered on four different days. To learn more about when and how to prune, register today for the workshop that best fits your schedule. All sessions will be recorded and the recording link sent to registrants after the session.
