March Workshop Opportunities

Spring is rolling inexorably our way at Pavement Ends. This is not a faith-based premise, it is the result of historical observation. Thank goodness. I am encouraged that we are still bitterly cold, since warm weather at this time of year is ever the harbinger of destructive freezes to come. However, spring work begins before the robins sing, and we are ready.

We will be working on our trees together in March, and here's the breakdown:
Saturday, March 8--wiring and pruning workshop. This is a great time to do major work on our trees, wiring conifers, doing some pruning as well. Weather permitting (meaning if you can drive), we will meet at 9 AM and work until we are done. Refreshments will be available. I will be planning on a major reworking of this tree:


Saturday, March 22 (and possibly Sunday, March 23 depending on demand)--we will be repotting anything you need to repot, also a few of my trees. Don't worry, I'm not asking anyone to do my work for me. Some of the trees are not easily handled by one person, though, so look for opportunities to see new techniques including the "square roots" method of potting a tree.
