AMENIA — Winter months can be a time to bone up on proper pruning of trees and bushes and even to practice some beneficial pruning actions.

The Amenia Garden Club is sponsoring an information/action session at the Town Hall on Saturday, Feb. 8, at 11 a.m., offering a workshop to demonstrate proper techniques for winter pruning of trees and bushes. The snow date is Feb. 15.

The session will be led by local garden expert Maryanne Snow Pitts who will provide instruction in pruning select tree species for optimal health and beauty. The winter season is thought to be ideal for some pruning to occur.

There is no charge for the event, but participants are asked to register in advance and plan to bring along gardening gloves, hand pruners and hand saws, if possible, and to dress warmly for the outdoor activity.

To register, participants should email ameniagardenclub@gmail.com.
