Most gardeners know pruning is an important task but most lack the confidence to get the job done. The Danbury Library will offer a presentation "Fearless Pruning: Confident Care of Your Trees and Shrubs" on Saturday, March 9 from 10:30 a.m. to noon. The program will be conducted by UCONN Advanced Master Gardener Michele MacKinnon, a frequent speaker at the Danbury Library.
Ms. MacKinnon will provide a basic introduction of pruning common evergreens, deciduous trees, and shrubs. Topics to be covered include why we procrastinate with pruning; pruning goals of shaping, removing damage, and size control; why, when, and how to trim plants; and the right tools for the job. In addition to the presentation, a list of books and other recommended resources will be provided.
