Through the graciousness of The Manassas Museum and Manassas Horticulturist, Mr. Myron Carlson, we have been asked to assist with the pruning of their crape myrtles and ilex glabra, inkberry at the museum.

There are lots of questions that surround the pruning of crape myrtle, and it seems a great many of the answers do not connect with this plant’s genetic requirements. Join us, and let’s do it right together and help make the Museum’s gardens even more beautiful. We will also look at other plants and their pruning requirements as well as some large inkberry holly.

Class begins at 10am on Friday, 18 April 2008. We will prune until 2pm with a break for lunch. Bring a lunch, handpruners and handsaws; the Pruning School will provide drinks.
