Summer Pruning Workshop

Join us for a walk through the Garden at Elm Bank as we discuss late spring and summer flowering plants. We will cover the techniques and science of pruning—learning not only how to make the right cuts, but why those cuts matter. With many plants responding minimally to pruning at this time of year, we’ll also cover evergreens and ornamental trees that benefit most from summer shaping. This workshop will equip you with practical techniques and insights to help your garden thrive with structure and purpose.

Please dress for the weather as we will be outside for the majority of this workshop.
