Program: Pruning for the Fearful

Reneé Marsh joins us today. A member of the Olde Ripton Garden Club in Shelton, Reneé is a garden designer, an Advanced Master Gardener and a horticulturist (aka Plant Nut). She believes our gardens should be a healthy ecosystem where people, plants, animals and insects are in balance. Doing it right means fewer chemicals, less maintenance and more enjoyment. She teaches gardening classes at the New York Botanical Gardens and adult education programs, speaks to many community groups and writes on gardening topics for local publications.
