Saturday, January 7th, 9:00-11:00 a.m.
Ron
Serven, Environmental Services Manager/City Arborist for the
City of San Marino, will conduct his 24nd annual rose pruning
workshop on Saturday January 7, 2017, and give even the most inexperienced
gardeners the knowledge to promote healthy, beautiful rose blooming when spring
comes around. Learn the techniques in one
two-hour session and be ready to work in companionship with nature.
A former City Parks Division Manager, Ron’s expertise with roses is
still visible throughout the city, particularly at beautiful Lacy Park. Many rose lovers have benefited from and
attended repeat performances of Ron’s workshop at Crowell Library. He will demonstrate optimum rose pruning
techniques and answer questions from the audience, such as what to do in cold
weather, or how to deal with irregular rainfall. Those who attend will be ready to go out into
their own yards the very same day to get the job done. Rose pruning promotes healthy roses and
abundant blooms in the spring. Increasing
air circulation can help prevent disease.
Attendees will get a better sense of how Mother Nature works and will soon
be spending some enjoyable time in their home gardens, armed with the knowledge
to keep it thriving and beautiful.
This workshop is free and reservations are not required, but if you
have questions, please call the library (626) 300-0777, extension 579.
