Moapa Valley Progress
Now is the time to prune most trees and shrubs. If you are afraid you will make a mistake and ruin your plants, a free workshop offered by the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension in Logandale is for you. Learn where and how to make proper cuts, how to use your tools to best advantage, and get tips on plant care.
The pruning demonstration will be on Saturday, February 16, at the Cooperative Extension at 1897 N. Moapa Valley Blvd., Logandale, from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
Norm Schilling of Schilling Horticulture Group will demonstrate how to prune trees and shrubs. Schilling was Supervisor at the Southern Nevada Water Authority Desert Demonstration Gardens for many years and also was in charge of the Arboretum at UNLV.
A popular speaker, Schilling is a licensed Arborist and teaches classes at the Gardens at Las Vegas Springs Preserve.
Printed materials giving specific pruning directions for many plants will be available. Participants are invited to bring their pruning tools if they would like personal, hands-on instruction.
This event is sponsored by University of Nevada Cooperative Extension and Moapa Valley Gardeners Association.
If you cannot make it to the Logandale workshop, the demonstration will also take place at 2 p.m. that day in Mesquite.
