Plant Amnesty's mission statement is "To end the senseless torture and mutilation of trees and shrubs caused by mal-pruning".
Turnbull, known personally to many gardeners in Puget Sound, was the author of Guide to Pruning, now in its third edition.
She was a frequent speaker at garden clubs. She had a long relationship with Sky Nursery, teaching pruning classes, and since 2010, staging the annual day-long Plant Amnesty Prune-a-thon with classes and garden experts for consultation on pruning.
