Master Gardener Pruning Clinics

This free home visitation program provides workshops and pruning lessons for individuals and small neighborhood groups. The program promotes sustainable landscapes that improve the environment. During clinics, 2-4 Master Gardeners provide hands-on instruction in maintaining shrubs and small trees.

Typically, the clinic is held on the homeowner's property with personalized instruction from Master Gardeners guiding the homeowner. Visits are 60 - 90 minutes and are scheduled for late winter and early spring, with a limited number of visits made available on a first-come, first-served basis.

A general public Pruning Clinic session is usually held in mid-January to provide information about pruning, general pruning techniques and practices, and resource material.  Available space is often limited.

Here are three instructional videos that cover pruning basics.

2025 Pruning Guide Handbook can be found Here.
