Let's talk pruning

Join gardener Joel on Tuesday 25 February as he shares his pruning best practices.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Pruning isn't just about forcing early blooms: it's also essential for plant health, shape, and aesthetics.

It is both an art and a science that incorporates three basic types of pruning cuts: reduction, removal and heading.

Join gardener Joel as he gives an insightful talk on pruning and how it's carried out on the trees and shrubs here at Rufford.
