How to Choose a Nursery Tree Workshop

Good tree care starts with a healthy tree. Before you plant a new tree, it's important to select the right one from the nursery. Taught by Chandler's Urban Forester, this demonstration class visits a local nursery to explore the key factors to consider when buying a tree. You’ll discuss tree function, form and size, and site conditions before heading over to a neighboring park to plant the newly purchased tree. Pre-registration is required.
