Make sure your employees know how to make that pruning cut. This day-long workshop will review important concepts such as good tree structure, what to cut and where to cut, as well as pruning tools and their maintenance. The participants will realize the importance of pruning as a service by your company and its importance to maintain healthy plants. They will not be master pruners, but they will know "good pruning" from "bad pruning" and will be able to answer simple questions from your customers.

Free for those who are eligible. Must be employed within the industry with no formal Horticulture education or a degree of any kind. One time intake forms to be filled out. Visit www.bclna.com/horticulturebasics.htm for eligibility, program & contact information.
