In addition to pruning\, Jonathan will cover cross-pollination\, fertilizers\, and common fungicide and insecticide sprays. \nThis seminar will take place at the Gresham Japanese Garden’s Kyoudou Center\, located at 219A S. Main Avenue\, Gresham\, OR 97030. \nInstructor: Jonathan FaithJonathan comes from a deep background in horticulture.
