Join PlantAmnesty instructors at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens for a short monthly series on various pruning and tree topics.

Consulting Arborists Joseph Sutton-Holcomb and Connor McDermott will discuss the crucial biological and physiological principles that inform their everyday work. Whether you have questions or concerns about a Douglas fir near your home, or a precarious pacific madrone in a neighborhood park, it’s helpful to have a basic understanding of how trees grow, adapt, fail, and succeed. Joe and Connor will provide tools to help you assess your trees and guidance on when to contact a professional for more in-depth investigation.
