WATERLOO and COLLINSVILLE, Ill. — In the last of the winter series, join Richard Hentschel, Horticulture Educator to learn about the three most common ways to prune flowering and non-flowering deciduous shrubs in your yard. Good pruning habits enhance spring blooms of any flowering shrub in the home landscape. Proper pruning techniques will also provide health benefits to the shrub. Properly pruned, insect and disease problems will lessen, all while retaining a natural look. Join him on Tuesday, March 19 at 1:30 p.m.
