Shrub Pruning

Join retired CCE Tompkins Ag Educator,
Monika Roth, who will guide you on best practices for pruning shrubs, from
maintenance to rejuvenation. Shrubs are long lasting parts of our gardens -
offering flowers, screening, and habitat. With good care, shrubs can be
beautiful, healthy, and productive for decades.
Monika Roth is a retired Extension
Agriculture & Horticulture educator with a degree in Plant Science. She
was integral to starting the Citizen Pruner volunteer program and has been
involved in organizing classes and working with volunteers since its
inception in 1990. She teaches the shrub pruning class because she loves to
prune, and it is gratifying to see the results of pruning.
Each spring, CCE-Tompkins offers a
multi-part training series for individuals who want to learn best practices
for selecting, planting, caring for, and pruning ornamental trees and
shrubs. The classes are part of a 3-part hybrid series, with a final
hands-on workshop - take one or all. There will be a separate registration
link for each class.
This class series gives the basics to start
as a Citizen Pruner Volunteer for the City. Citizen Pruners are stewards of
the city's trees. Throughout the warm months, interested folks gather with
experienced foresters at weekly volunteer sessions to prune city trees.
This class is being offered both In-person
or Via Zoom.
Space is limited, pre-registration is
required. Register for this or the next workshop:
