Are you timid about pruning? Do you wish you could turn the frown upside down on your weeping Japanese maple, or liven the look of those ancient azaleas? It's never too late to show the shrubs in your life some long-awaited love! Come to Jenkins with your pruners, loppers and questions about  how to go about the process. We'll send you home with renewed confidence, so you can take the lead when it comes to relating to your woody plants. When your pruners are sharp, it is time to prune, so join us to sharpen your skills and begin the process of transformation in your own gardens!

Please come learn how to properly prune plants in the landscape. Covering the reasons why pruning is important for the health of plants, the equipment needed for proper cuts, types of pruning methods, and overall information about this important landscape maintenance subject, this lecture/presentation is sure to inspire you. Remember Edward Scissorhands? This could be you!
