The dormant period in Winter is an important time to perform specific work on plants whose structure is visible with no leaves. We will visit a number of shrubs and ornamental trees that are best pruned and accessed in Winter. Since plants do not respond to pruning at this time, we can use this window to remove water sprouts and root suckers and work on plants with specific aesthetic needs. The workshop will cover specific pruning techniques, explaining how and why cuts are being made.
Instructor: Reed Pugh
For over 25 years in San Francisco and Boston, Reed Pugh has worked in multiple nurseries; had his own design, installation, and maintenance businesses on both coasts; managed a 30-acre historic private estate in Brookline; and managed one of the top fine-gardening companies in New England. Currently, he focuses his passion on working individually with people in their gardens and showing them how to make their gardens and landscapes beautiful through inspiration, knowledge, and proper care with his company, Barking Dog Gardens.
