ILWACO, Wash. — Master Gardeners offers a spring pruning workshop 10 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum with presenters Kelly Rupp and Hugh Barrett.

Spring is coming, but it’s not here yet. This is the time to get out in the garden and examine your dormant plants and trees. What kinds of pruning will ensure their health and optimize their beauty?

Master Gardeners will share specific techniques for pruning ornamental plants, shrubs, fruit trees and caning berries. There will be plants and demonstrations of pruning methods, hands-on opportunities to practice your pruning methods and handouts to guide you in keeping your plants looking their best.

The museum is at 115 S.E. Lake St.
