Learning to Prune and New Garden Club

3/12/2017

0 Comments

 
Dear Gardening Friends, 
Champing at the bit to engage with the natural growing world.
It is time to prune the currants (and plant some).
If you are interested in learning how to do this (properly and productively) let me know and we will schedule a training workshop. 
Then, when you are "certified" you can go out and prune whenever the sap starts a-flowing and the weather draws you out. 
The window is now:
end of winter, 
before the shrubs bud out. 
Hey!
Let me know.
