Home Gardner Series 2024: Have you ever wanted to learn the basics of home gardening, from plant identification and pruning, to soil and plant care? Are you an experienced gardener who is looking to improve your skills or gain a deeper understanding of important concepts like pruning, sustainability or soil testing/management? Join us for this yearlong series of workshops and classes designed to give gardeners, of all experience levels, the tools and knowledge to properly care for their gardens. No matter how small or large your garden is, you will gain new insights through this series of classes and hands-on workshops that take place here at New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill. The Pruning Workshops are performed in the garden and reflect the instructor’s five pruning windows during the year to accomplish specific tasks unique to the plants and time of year.
PLANT ID: EVERGREEN (CONIFEROUS) AND DECIDUOUS TREES: Walk through the garden to improve your identification skills of Evergreen and Deciduous Trees. We will use our horticultural knowledge of leaves/needles, flowers/cones and other parts to properly identify species. We might also cheat with some available technology on our phones.
