The Early Childhood Programs are an integral part of Forest Lake Area Schools (FLAS). We work together to assure that children transition smoothly into kindergarten.
The program offers before and after school childcare, non-school days (NSD) and summer childcare. Fees are listed in the current fee schedule online. The program opens at 6am and closes at 6pm.
Trees and shrubs are an investment that can improve the beauty of your home landscape, but require pruning and regular maintenance for a long life. Understanding tree growth habits, we will show why, how and when you can do corrective pruning as well as techniques to care for and prune shade trees, evergreens and fruit trees. Shrubs can often get too large, block windows or crowd sidewalks and make your yard look unkempt. Learn techniques for pruning and rejuvenating shrubs, including raspberries, to help show off the beauty of your home.
This class will be taught as an interactive, online webinar through Zoom by a Master Gardener using University research-based information. Materials and Zoom link will be sent by email prior to the class.
