Pruning, along with planting, is one of the most common horticultural tasks homeowners use to maintain their property. When done correctly, pruning improves landscape design, supports plant health, and enhances the overall beauty of your outdoor space. While it may seem complicated, pruning becomes straightforward once you understand the basic concepts, principles, and techniques. This workshop is designed to give you the skills and confidence to go home and prune your own plants effectively.
Hellerick’s Adventure Farm and Mini Golf maintains over seven acres of gardens and is frequently asked by guests how to properly prune and care for their plants. This workshop is suitable for all experience levels. Using the farm’s gardens as a hands-on classroom, we’ll demonstrate techniques and then give you the opportunity to practice pruning yourself.
Topics covered include:
- Pruning tools and how to sharpen them
- How to identify and prune three types of hydrangeas and three types of roses
- How to determine whether a shrub should be pruned in winter or after it blooms
- Tree pruning using the SDDDDWISC method
- Pruning a variety of ornamental grasses and perennials
You’re encouraged to bring photos or 12-inch samples of plants from your home. We’ll help identify them and guide you on when and how to prune them properly.
