About the event

Join us to learn the basics of the The Gibson method, and how to make more thoughtful cuts.

Presented by Mike Gibson of Gibson Works

Pruning doesn’t have to be confusing or intimidating. This beginner talk introduces basic pruning techniques and explores the principles of The Gibson Method, a creative approach to topiary that will help attendees make more confident, thoughtful cuts.

This class is part of the Hattie Meadows Gardening School and is open to everyone.

The Hattie Meadows Gardening School is a free community learning project to spread knowledge and love of gardening. Classes will take place at the Stanford L. Warren Library from January through June 2026. This program is presented in partnership with Stanford L. Warren Library, Sarah P. Duke Gardens, and Durham County Cooperative Extension, and is made possible by the Durham Library Foundation.
