Horticulture Class – Pruning Trees and Shrubs Join us for our latest educational offering at Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum in 2026! Horticulture classes will be taught by staff members of the Arboretum’s horticulture team. Each 3-hour class will be held monthly through October and will feature a different horticultural topic, from pruning to focusing on specific types of plants, such as oaks. Classes can contain indoor classroom presentations, outdoor walking tours, hands on activities, or portions of all the above. This winter tree topic is a hands-on Pruning Trees and Shrubs Class, held on Tuesday, January 13, 2026 from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. Make sure to sign up quickly for this class, as there aren’t many educational pruning offerings around STL. It is free to attend with a suggested donation of $15 per person. Space is limited and registration is required. Please wear appropriate walking attire.  Please arrive at the main entrance between 15 to 20 minutes before class time for a prompt start.  Sign Up!   MAKE A GIFT Donations to the Friends of Bellefontaine Cemetery are always gratefully accepted.
