Pruning and Training Climbers and Wall Shrubs

Climbers and wall shrubs create valuable opportunities within a garden – to add height, create garden wallpaper, cover a wall or fence, or decorate an arch or pergola. There are plenty of ways to incorporate them into your garden, and plenty of good reasons to do so!
To keep plants looking good, with strong growth, healthy foliage and plenty of flowers if relevant, some timely maintenance is required. Sam Southgate, part of the RHS Curatorial team, will be demonstrating the principles of pruning and will teach you how to decide when your climbers need attention.
You will look at a wide range of different climbers and wall shrubs during this session, including wisteria and clematis. This is an opportunity to find out how to ensure your arches and pergolas are filled with colour every year.
