## Resource

It’s that time of year when we put blade to wood and help our shrubs and trees to become the best versions of themselves. Pruning is a big job and many gardeners are right in the middle of it by the beginning of March. Some of us are excited by the challenge. Others are dreading the many decisions still in front of them. Leslie and Marianne aim to channel that excitement, alleviate any anxiety, and set you loose on another pruning season. It’s not rocket science. It’s not even weird science. It’s working boldly and courageously — throwing in a little curiosity, and having fun. They’ll tell you why, how, and with what. And they’re definitely going to need the Dixter bell. Today, on The Garden Mixer. ___________________ Be sure to hit the subscribe button so we can keep you smiling while you hit the mess [your garden] out there.
