IF THE BEST TIME TO PLANT A TREE WAS 30 YEARS AGO... The second best time is now! NEW! NHG is proud to welcome our new Dallas County Extension Agent Anne LeSenne, who will focus on correct pruning techniques that will help maintain a healthy tree - and it's time to prune now - as the month of January is best for pruning our shade and ornamental trees. Come join us to learn the basic steps of correct pruning, and the tools you'll need. Also covered are the proper fertilizer and irrigation needs to help your trees grow and thrive, increasing your landscape's value. FREE. NOTE: THIS EVENT IS INDOORS IN OUR CLASSROOM. Anne LeSenne brings a wealth of knowledge and a whole lot of passion to her work in one of the largest urban areas in Texas. As a Board Certified Master Arborist and Master Beekeeper, Anne is leading innovative programs that promote sustainable gardening, vibrant urban forests and Earth-Kind landscaping. Her work focuses on everything from edible gardening and beekeeping to supporting the Dallas County Master Gardeners. She’s also helping bring horticulture to life for young Texans through hands-on events like the Urban Farm EXPO in Garland, where kids learn how food grows and how to turn garden harvests into delicious snacks like pesto, pickles and berry crisp! Anne’s approachable style and love of teaching make her a standout resource for both new and experienced gardeners. Through classes, community outreach and creative demonstrations, she’s inspiring people across Dallas County to grow with confidence and connect with the natural world around them.
