Helpful Landscaping Hints from the Deer at the Love Your Pet Expo Sanctuary

Strategic pruning is the key to good landscaping. Here is how we do it:

Trees should never be fat at the bottom. A cluster of leaves at the top is pleasing to the eye, but only bare branches are desirable within easy reach.

Roses LOVE a good aggressive pruning. Notice the new growth at the bottom. This plant will be nice and bushy for our next pruning.

Look at this iris. See how compact and bushy it is now? Before, it was all gangly and out of control, with wild fronds going every which way. It's a good thing we were here to fix that mess.

Vegetables are highly overrated. Now that those silly cabbages are gone, these pots can be reused for planting other delicacies.
