Shrubs are a durable and important component of planted landscapes. This class at The Morton Arboretum will examine the care needs and management requirements for the most popular species of shrubs in the Midwest. Students will learn
- how and when to prune different species of shrubs,
- whether or not fertilization is necessary,
- how to identify and respond to common pests and disease, and
- other science-backed tips for long-lived shrubs.
A portion of the class will include an outdoor walk to look at varieties up close and in person.
This program meets in person at the Arboretum.
