Join NPA for our Annual Membership Meeting to hear a quick update about our nonprofit organization. Then sit back in the comfort of your own home to enjoy a live presentation by Bess Bronstein, followed by a live Q&A.
Renovation of an Aging Garden: An orderly garden over time can become a wild crowd of trees and shrubs, especially if it had been over-planted initially or becomes overgrown when pruning has not been ongoing. However, all is not lost. Often removal or moving of plants can help, but pruning is essential when renovating an old garden. Keep in mind that it took time to create the chaos, and it will take time to renovate it properly. Pruning techniques for size reduction, thinning and plant definition will be discussed, as well as how and when to do more radical renovation.
