Berkshire Botanical Garden presents Tree Care for Gardeners with Tom Ingersoll
February 14 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

This three-session course, taught by Tom Ingersoll of Ingersoll Land Care, and held on Fridays, Feb. 14 through Feb. 28, from 1 to 5 p.m., is designed for those who might not necessarily be the first to climb 100 feet up a northern red oak or wrangle a chainsaw to fell a 36-feet-tall dead ash tree. The goal of this class is to empower horticulturalists to better understand the largest plants in the landscape. Participants will learn the basics of tree biology and identification, the tree’s role in the ecosystem, proper selection, siting, planting considerations, pruning of young trees, fertilization, pest identification, and when to call in the certified arborist.
Members: $215/Non-Members: $240
