Pruning Season at Pollard Park

It’s pruning season in the garden and, for the amateur gardener, there’s always something to be learned from what’s happening in the public gardens at Pollard Park.

Council gardeners Julie Murphy, left, and Kate Kidman use wire brushes to clean the rose crowns and finish off the rose pruning at the Pollard Park rose beds.

The hydrangeas are next; the Council's gardening team will be holding demonstrations at Pollard Park next week.

Come and learn from the experts - it's also a chance to ask questions.
