Lake county >> The leaves are off and winter is in full swing. The structure of trees and shrubs can be clearly seen, which makes it the ideal time to work on that aspect of preventative care of trees and shrubs. If you need some guidance in that department, The Master Gardeners can help.
The UCCE Master Gardener Program of Lake County is holding the following Workshops in January and February:
Jan. 27, Kelseyville: fruit tree pruning demonstration
Feb. 3, Upper Lake: Rose pruning demonstration
A grape pruning demonstration is planned in February if there is sufficient interest. A third fruit tree pruning demonstration in Clearlake may also be held.
Each workshop is scheduled from 10 a.m. to noon, and are $5 each. You will need to bring your own (clean) pruning tools for supervised practice, if you plan to join in that.
Significant rain cancels, and the workshop will be rescheduled to a subsequent Wednesday.
Call 263-6838 to RSVP and obtain address of location. Organizers request a minimum of three participants RSVP at least one day before the workshop in order to guarantee that it will move forward. If fewer than three RSVP, the class may not be held, so attendees should call before dropping in for any class.
