Takoma Horticultural Club to Host Pruning Woody Plants Talk

Christopher Elenstar trains gardeners to prune trees and shrubs to best advantage.

Takoma Horticultural Club (THC) invites you to:

Pruning Woody Plants

with Christopher Elenstar
at the District of Columbia Library, Takoma Park Branch*
416 Cedar Street NW, D.C. 20012
Wednesday, April 20, 7:30 p.m.

At Brookside Gardens in Montgomery County, Christopher Elenstar trains volunteer gardeners to prune its many trees and shrubs to best advantage. Whether you want to learn the basic principles of pruning trees and shrubs, or refresh your memory on techniques and strategies, this lecture will cover it all. We’ll discuss why, when, and how to prune all your favorite woody plants.

The talk is free and open to the public. No need to RSVP. Bring a snack to share and wear a home-made nametag or one recycled from another event.

*Our April meeting is being held at the Takoma D.C. Library, where club meetings were held until 1950, when membership outgrew the facility. We hope to reach not only our members, but the wider Takoma Park/Takoma D.C Community in this 100th anniversary year.
From the main Takoma Metro entrance, head west on Cedar Street to the corner of 4th Street. The Library is on your left. Street parking is available.
