Pruning How-To Clinic this Saturday, January 22 at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Orris Gibson, Davis Ace Hardware's very own gardening know-all, will teach how to prune rose bushes and fruit trees for beauty and maximum production. There is no cost and no RSVP. Just show up and soak up the knowledge!
To hold you over, a little preview of the good tips you'll be receiving this Saturday:

1. Always chop at a 45 degree angle
2. Careful with your first pruning of the season - never below the second leaf axil.
3. Prune the center! Overgrown centers lead to fungus. Gross.
4. All old leaves must go!
5. You can seal cuts with clear nail polish or glue.

To learn more and bloom all season, stop by and hang out with Orris this Saturday(1/22)!
