Hello, my Treeple!
I'll be presenting the Tree Pruning Class again for the City of Boise on Feb 11th. This class is a broad presentation that addresses mostly ornamentals and shade trees, and is different from the fruit tree class.
A new addition this year will be "How to Hire an Arborist" on March 4th. This class will delve into proper tree care terminology as well as a bit about the ANSI standards and how they can be used as an offense or a defense for both the public and the tree care company. If any of you have seen James Komen's presentation "The Sword and the Shield," this will be similar to that.
There is a whole horticulture series available through the City's website. There is a $5 registration fee for each class (a new thing this year), but i feel like every class presented will be well worth it!
Come see us and learn some stuff!!
Join Boise Parks and Recreation staff for our annual series of tree care, gardening and wildflower classes, plus a tour of the Laura Moore Cunningham Arboretum.
