Extension to Host Winter Pruning Workshops

When should I prune my hydrangeas? How do I prune blueberries so they will be productive this season? Questions about pruning are some of the most common gardening questions. Join Extension Agents Leslie Peck and Mary Jac Brennan to learn proper pruning techniques during Forsyth Extension Gardener workshops this spring.
