Choose the Right Tool for the Job

Hand pruners are the most used tool for cutting houseplants, flowers, edibles, shrubs and evergreens.  Each are different and specific for each job.  Kathleen Obirek, landscape designer and educator, will help you navigate through the various options from design to size, blade types, cut capacity, locking mechanisms and more.

Whether you are a novice or experienced gardener, you need to "see and feel" Kathleen's preferences for quality, affordable pruners.  Kathleen will also be giving away three of her favorites during this informative program.
