The Magic of Pruning


In June, the Master Gardener Pruning Class that took advantage of the opportunity to learn from a horticulture professional, with a hands on learning experience, and the bonus of socializing with. other master Gradeners. This class was the result of overflow registration for the spring class.

The March pruning class was the first MGAP offering of hands on classes to supplement and expand our gardening knowledge by providing Continuing Education opportunities after completion of the Master Gardener classes.
The entusiastic response by MGAP members resulted in volunteer hours for Hatcher Garden and a valuable learning experience for members.


Additional classes in areas such as propagation, dividing perennials, vegetable gardening (PAR) and a nature hike are being considered.
