Howard Dean Ed. Center, Springfield

Free to Extension Master Gardeners, Students, Interns, Composters, EMG Alums. Suggested Donation of $15 for general public.

The changing New England seasons can be hard on our fruit trees, and proper pruning is important for sustaining healthy and productive plants. Learn the art of pruning using the pear trees at the Howard Dean Education Center, and gain invaluable advice on how to make well thought-out pruning cuts on fruit trees and woody landscape plants of various sizes.

Bring your pruning tools and receive supervised hands on practice with Eric Bragg, arborist, tree surgeon, and owner of GreenShield Arboriculture. Pear trees and other spring-blooming varieties will be on the pruning agenda. This workshop is designed for all ability levels, counts for Master Gardener Continuing Education hours, and is open to the general public.

Bring your own bag lunch to enjoy with fellow pruners following the workshop!
