DOUBLE RING TOPIARY

     Topiary, the art  of shaping plants into ornamental or fanciful shapes by training and pruning, has long been part of the American landscape and decorative tradition. Gardeners have trimmed plants for centuries and today many people make smaller container grown topiaries out of plants for their patios and indoor gardens.  The workshop will cover the different types of topiaries, plants which can be used and how to care for them.  Students will make their own double ringed topiary to take home.
