  • Thursday, July 11, 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm – Tree Cutting in the Home Garden

    Removing trees from the landscape would not typically be a recommendation from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. There are many situations, however, when it becomes necessary to remove damaged, diseased or otherwise unwanted trees from your property. Join Massachusetts Certified Arborist Scott McPhee and Hartney-Greymont, Inc. on Thursday, July 11, from 7 – 8, as they cut down an “unwanted” tree in the Italianate Garden. Scott will also walk you through the decision process of pruning versus transplanting versus removal of trees, the proper tools for tree work at home, the steps involved, and why and when to have a professional arborist handle the job.
