Green Stick Workshop- Pruning 101

Have you ever wondered how to properly prune the trees and shrubs in your yard? Now is your chance to learn at the first ever Green Stick Workshop!  This hands-on learning experience will equip you with the knowledge you need to start cutting!

Following an Introduction to Pruning and Pruning Fundamentals, attendees will participate in three workshop activities. The first two activities will focus on the proper methods for pruning roses and crape myrtle trees. The third activity will include pruning tool selection and care. The program will end with a Q&A session.

Attendance for the workshop is limited to the first 60 adults to register. The presentations are designed with information for adults, but children will be allowed to accompany parents or guardians. Any children attending must remain under an adult’s supervision. No pets are allowed. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own pruning snips. Gloves and long-sleeved shirts are recommended for the rose pruning activity.

This program is provided by the LSU AgCenter Botanic Gardens and the East Baton Rouge Parish Master Gardeners.
