Dissatisfied with dozens of pruning lectures he had seen, garden designer and public garden professional Fred Spicer created a new type of presentation: one that not only talks tools, techniques and timing, but shows “the how and the where” of plant responses to pruning over short- and long-terms. Beyond that, he explains how plant selection, pruning and training have been used with distinct purpose in his home garden. Participants learn how to prune correctly (from the plant’s point of view) but also get deep insight into using pruning creatively as a design tool (not to see it as mundane work). Attendees report feeling much greater confidence as gardeners, and say they were inspired to try new plants and new techniques.
