Orcas Island Garden Club presents “Taming the Overgrown Garden,” with Cass Turnbull on Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 10 a.m. in the Madrona Room of Orcas Center.

Turnbull’s name is synonymous with good pruning. As the founder and president of Plant Amnesty, her mission has been to “end the shameless torture and mutilation of trees and shrubs.”  She will present on basic pruning of ornamental trees and shrubs as well as creative solutions to the overgrown or over-planted garden.

Born in Seattle, a professional gardener for over 20 years, Turnbull is the author of two books, numerous articles and lectures nationally on the art of pruning.
