Saturday, January 6th, 9:00-11:00 a.m.
Ron
Serven, Environmental Services Manager and San Marino City
Arborist, will conduct his 25th annual rose pruning workshop on Saturday
January 6, 2018, 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.
This is the perfect time to get out into the yard and manage
rose bushes for maximum bloom and health. Ron makes it interesting and fun. 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 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 by increasing air circulation that can help prevent disease.
Attendees will learn
a bit about how plants work, what makes them thrive and will soon be spending some enjoyable time
in their home gardens, armed with the knowledge to keep it thriving and
bursting with blooms. Ron will wipe away the fear of damaging the plants or wasting
precious time. He is also very good
about answering questions, so bring them on.
This workshop is free and reservations are not required, but if you
have questions, please call the library (626) 300-0777, extension 579.
