Join us for an informative seminar designed for landscapers, gardeners, and property managers focused on essential winter landscape care. This session will cover three key areas:

• Winter Landscape Preparation: Learn best practices for preparing your landscape for the cold season, including soil protection, mulching, irrigation shutdown, and safeguarding vulnerable plants.
• Winter Plant Identification: Discover how to identify trees, shrubs, and perennials during dormancy. We’ll provide tips and tools for recognizing plant species without foliage and using bark, buds, and branching patterns.
• Pruning & Trimming Techniques: Understand the proper timing, tools, and methods for winter pruning. Learn which plants benefit from winter trimming and which should be left until spring.

Whether you're maintaining residential gardens or managing large commercial properties, this seminar will equip you with the knowledge to protect and enhance your landscapes during the winter months and set the stage for a healthy spring.
