Pruning Plumeria
About This Event
Saturday, April 19; 10am-1pm
Shape, trim, bloom! Pruning a plumeria tree is an art, not just a task. Join us for a hands-on workshop at the Los Angeles Arboretum’s breathtaking plumeria grove, where you’ll learn the essential techniques for shaping and trimming your trees with precision. Our expert instructors will guide you through the why, how, and where of pruning, ensuring you understand the best practices for healthy, beautiful blooms. After detailed demonstrations, you’ll get the chance to work alongside experienced grove volunteers to prune one or more of the Arboretum’s magnificent trees. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a plumeria enthusiast, you’ll leave with the skills to help your plumeria thrive.
*Class will be located in our plumeria grove which is about a 15-minute walk from the entrance. *Carts will be available to shuttle participants to class location starting at 9:30am.
About The Instructor
Since 2001, Diana has been growing plumeria in her drought tolerant, coastal garden and happily passes along her knowledge to the community. In 2014, she kick-started a volunteer effort to renovate, expand and improve the Arboretum’s grove of over 100 trees. She firmly believes in sharing her expertise and lessons learned via in-grove workshops and the annual Plumeria Day event.
