Pruning is a vital horticultural practice that stimulates growth in plants, with techniques varying based on plant types and seasons. The 'Chelsea chop' is a popular method for managing perennial growth, particularly effective for prairie plants, enhancing flower production. Meanwhile, the Extension Master Gardener (EMG) Program trains volunteers in horticulture to support community gardening and education efforts. In India, recent workshops have highlighted the importance of horticultural practices in climate resilience and market-led agriculture. Additionally, a recent storm has impacted the Caribbean and coastal Texas, while local gardens flourish again after drought conditions. Training opportunities and resources for gardeners are being promoted to encourage better plant health and community involvement.
