Pruning Primer Demo, with Lee Boltwood
April 23, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free
Join us for a hands-on session with Master Gardener Lee Boltwood, who will demonstrate the basics of good pruning practice, from tools and sanitation, to techniques for felling a mature tree. Lee Boltwood is an original member of the Master Gardeners of Ottawa-Carleton, an experienced, practical gardener, and is a past-president of the Stittsville-Goulbourn Horticultural Society. Lee is so widely recognized as a lynch-pin of the local horticultural scene that, in 2022, then-Mayor Jim Watson dedicated a new park in Stittsville as the Lee Boltwood Park.
Presentation starts at 7:30 pm, in-person and on YouTube:
