Armstrong Garden Centers offers even more exciting free classes this December and throughout the holiday season. Customers are encouraged to come in and learn more on how to keep their poinsettias everlasting, the ins-and-outs of rose pruning and the fruit tree care tips all homeowners should know.

Armstrong Garden Centers’ scheduled workshops for December 2014:

Saturday, Dec. 27 at 9 a.m. – Rose Pruning – We’ll demystify rose pruning with our class and demonstration. Learn how pruning keeps plants healthy and promotes many gorgeous blooms.

Sunday, Dec. 28 at 10 a.m. – Fruit Tree Pruning – Pruning fruit trees is easy once you understand the basics. We’ll demonstrate the simple principles. (Citrus pruning is covered in our citrus care class later in spring.)

Each class will be instructed by a nursery professional who will offer timely gardening advice and hands-on demonstrations. Advance registration or RSVP is not required to attend. Classes are open to gardeners of all levels. Armstrong Garden Centers also offers free garden talks from the experts for local garden clubs, homeowners associations and other small groups in the community.
