Join the Etobicoke Master Gardeners (EMG) and the Humber Arboretum for a free workshop on pruning. We will take a hands-on look at pruning fundamentals, learn about the importance of pruning, proper pruning techniques and some of the common tools and tool care. Specific examples of what plants to prune and when to prune them will be demonstrated. You are encouraged to bring in your favourite secateurs (pruners), if you want to sharpen them and practice a cut or two!
There will be an optional short tour afterwards for those who are interested.
