The holiday season is upon us and what a different holiday season it is! As is tradition, our Horticulture team has put together gift ideas for your favorite gardener to help them get a jump on the season, make tasks easier, and to inspire and create their yard and garden in 2021.
There is nothing better than a really great
hand pruner! Using a quality pruner and keeping it maintained properly avoids damaging plant stems and makes gardening tasks so much easier. A bypass pruner cuts stems and branches without crushing them. A favorite basic pruner of mine are my Felco bypass pruners, and for smaller pruning and snipping jobs, I like Dramm pruners. I carry one in my car along with my favorite gloves because you never know when you might need to prune something!
