Leonardtown Library

Meeting Rooms 1&2

Spring is in sight! Sharpen your pruning skills with this workshop.

Join us as Chris Pax, designer of Leonardtown Library’s Front Yard, shares techniques for why, when, and how to prune woody plants for healthy growth and natural beauty.

Chris will focus on pruning strategies for the Maryland native trees and shrubs that provide essential habitat for our birds, bees and butterflies. Good pruning practices benefit non-native trees and shrubs as well, so join us to make a pruning plan for your yard!

Chris is the owner of Annapolis Native Landscape Design in Annapolis MD. Since the very beginning of her design career, she’s been passionate about gardening with native plants, and is in demand as a speaker for Master Gardener and Garden Club groups throughout Maryland. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about keeping your garden in good health and looking great!
