Things get out of control. But if it is pruned, it can stay the right size and beautiful. Sad but true. Even those natural wispy gardens and patches of shrubbery that look like they've just sprung up by themselves along the property's edge, demand care. If a homeowner isn't inclined to pay attention to pruning, spraying and weeding, then they should consider the easiest low maintenance plantings possible.
Some plants take less pruning than others.
People need to know what they are getting into. I spend time making sure that the clients are happy and know what they are getting and that it works. Sometimes Margit has to disappoint a client because a certain type of plant will not do well at the desired location. This addresses a common philosophy that so many non-professionals adopt. You're changing, evolving, growing and the shapes in your garden are changing.
