What do our horticulturists do in the winter? Winter pruning of course! Watch as our Gardens Manager, Leirion, and Senior Horticulturalist, Sean, cut back some evergreen and woody shrubs. While January is not ideal timing for pruning your Rhododendron if you want to preserve this year's flower display, the timing works for our horticulture team to be ready for opening in April. To preserve the next year's floral display it would be best to prune a Rhododendron right after flowering.
