Heavy snow can damage branches....using a broom, gently push UP on branches to knock off snow.  If it's a weeping tree, then it's okay to gently brush downwards....

PRUNING DVD

    Learn how to prune your shrubs from an expert -- without the technical jargon.

    Are you tired of paying landscapers hundreds of dollars to prune your shrubs, only to find they've ruined them?  Are you frustrated by pruning books that have confusing instructions?

    Most of the clients I work for in my garden maintenance business are happy to let my Personal Gardeners do the pruning, and they just come home and enjoy the results of our hard work.  But there were people who wanted to prune their shrubs themselves -- but they told me they were afraid they'd do the wrong thing.  They'd read pruning books that had complicated instructions on how to prune each individual shrub and elaborate charts on when to prune.  It was all so confusing that they just gave up.

    So I started giving private pruning lessons.  I'd spend two to three hours showing homeowners the basics of pruning, and the results were gratifying.  They told me they were amazed at how easy it was to prune properly, once they knew the basics.  I got phone calls months later telling me that they were pruning with confidence and their shrubs looked great.  One woman said that the three hours she spent with me learning how to prune was the best investment she'd ever made.

    But I can't be everywhere!

    That's why I produced this DVD:  Pruning Shrubs with Your Personal Gardener.  On this instructional DVD, you'll get the benefit of a private pruning lesson at a fraction of the price.  I start with the basics of pruning, plus give tips for choosing the right tools.

    You'll learn:

    Then you'll follow along the individual lessons, as I prune the shrubs that people most often ask for help with:  lilacs, azaleas, junipers, butterfly bush, weeping Japanese maple, Clematis, and lots more. (okay, Clematis is a vine, not a shrub, but it's a plant that I get a lot of questions about, so I included it!)

    Pruning Shrubs with Your Personal Gardener will teach you everything you need to know to prune with confidence.  Stop spending money on landscapers who ruin your shrubs!  Save money by learning how to do it yourself. Order the DVD today.  ORDER HERE!

    Warning!  Don't order this DVD if you want to shear all of your shrubs into tight muffin shapes.  That's not good for the health or the appearance of the plant, and that's not my philosophy.

                        Do order this DVD if you want to learn how to maintain the natural shape and beauty of your shrubs.  That's the natural pruning method I teach.

About me: Some people sing with the radio while they drive.  I look at trees and shrubs and figure out how I'd prune them!  If only I could cut that one branch, I think to myself, that shrub would look so much better! Yes, I'm a bit obsessed with pruning!  So when I started my business, I decided to specialize in pruning shrubs and small trees.   Learn more about Carol Chernega
