Caring For Your Trees & Shrubs

Tuesday, Sept. 13, 7 p.m.
First Church, 190 Court St. Middletown


Local arborist Jane Harris, known on the Middletown Eye news blog as “Tree Fanatic,” runs her own tree and shrub consulting business in Middletown and environs. She will explain some basic principles of tree and shrub health and tell us some easy steps we can take this fall to protect our trees and shrubs for the winter, foster healthy root growth, how to resize and rejuvenate overgrown shrubs, and why pruning at the right time is important. Jane also serves on Middletown’s Urban Forestry Commission and she will offer important information for residents about our city’s trees, pruning for utility wires, the function of trees in an urban or residential setting, and more.
