On Saturday, April 19, from 10 – noon, the Berkshire Botanical Garden will hold an offsite workshop on Rejuvenating Shrubs: Lilacs, Weigela, Forsythia and More. Is that old lilac refusing to flower? Spring is a great time to assess your woody shrubs for shape and structure. This hands-on workshop will focus on when, why and how to renovate or rejuvenate your woody plants. Learn about tools, timing and specific techniques available to the home gardener. Following a lecture and several pruning demonstrations, participants will learn by doing.
