As an extension from our February class on the History and Concepts of Japanese Garden Design, join Paul once again to dive deeper into the topic of caring for and maintaining Japanese gardens.

This class will focus on appropriate pruning techniques of plants often found in Japanese gardens such as Japanese Maples, Pines, and Yews. A portion of this class will take place in the classroom where participants will learn more about how and when to prune plants and the traditional shapes and forms of plants in Japanese gardens. Afterwards, the class will move outdoors and into the Botanical Garden’s Japanese garden for a pruning demonstration.
