Landscape Illinois is offering a Ground Pruning Workshop in East Peoria, IL for both member and non-member companies.

Choose either:

Morning Session: 7:30am – 11:30am
Afternoon Session: 12:30pm – 4:30pm

Each session is limited to 35 participants

The workshop begins with classroom instruction on safety, tree and shrub pruning concepts, and plant health care. This will be followed by hands-on outdoor instruction, in small groups, supervised and guided by arborists. We will offer morning and afternoon sessions, limited to 70 total participants.

Participants will be asked to wear clothing that meets the safety standards for pruning, and bring a helmet, safety glasses, hand pruners, loppers, a pole pruner, and a folding saw (if you have one).  This is ground pruning of shrubs and trees only.  There will be no canopy work.

Registration opens August 10, 2026!
