Most gardeners know pruning is an important task but most lack the confidence needed for the
task. This basic introduction will cover pruning of common evergreens, deciduous trees, and shrubs.
Topics to be covered:
– why we procrastinate with pruning;
– pruning goals of shaping, removing damage, and size control;
– why, when, and how to trim plants, and
– the right tools for the job.
A list of books and other recommended resources will be provided.

Sleep is something our bodies need to do; a basic human need, it is not an option. During sleep many of the body’s major organ and regulatory systems continue to work actively. Some parts of the brain actually increase their activity dramatically and the body produces more of certain hormones. Sleepiness due to chronic lack of sleep is
a big problem in the United States.
