Hands-On Pruning Class 2026

March 8 @ 1:30 pm 3:30 pm EDT

Free

Winter is an excellent time to prune many trees and shrubs. Learn why and how to prune to remove crossing and rubbing branches, suckers, water sprouts, and damaged wood. Discover the best practices for reducing shrub size, trimming hedges, and carefully removing larger limbs. The results will be trees and shrubs with healthier and fuller growth, better flowers and fruit, and a more attractive home landscape. Join Extension Master Gardeners for a hands-on class in basic pruning techniques. Dress for the weather, bring your tools.

This class is limited to 25 people and we have 15 people registered so far. Our registration system has stopped working. If you would like to attend this class, please email webmaster@mgnv.org to let us know you would like to attend – please include your full name. Registration will close at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, March 6.

Thank you!
