PHA Grounds Manager/Arborist Ian Jochems will cover tree and shrub pruning techniques such as directional pruning, rejuvenation, and the three-cut method, as well as tool maintenance. Learn some basic plant physiology and how plant genetics and habits inform pruning choices. There will be in-class demonstrations and hands-on practice. Participants will also venture into the collection to observe how plants have responded to past pruning. Bring work gloves and safety glasses if you own them. Tools will be supplied.
