Garden Workshop | Pruning

Pruning hardy shrubs and trees is an essential tool used to maintain plant health, prolong plant lifespan and maximize landscape utility. Here at Historic Columbia, we do the majority of our major pruning in the winter, when plants are dormant and branching structure is easier to see. Utilizing the vast collection of trees and shrubs planted throughout the extensive gardens of our six properties, attendees will learn basics such as species-specific growth and form, what tools to use, and how to use them.
