Garden Care
I am available for specialized garden care for gardens with primarily California native plants. In particular, I am skilled in the art form of pruning shrubs and small trees to enhance their beauty.
I work according to our subtle (yet very real) seasons to ensure that gardens are given the appropriate care at the correct time. All tasks are done with mechanical hand tools, so there's no noise or fumes. I practice regular tool cleaning to ensure that plants remain healthy. I aim to adhere to the 12 Principles of Permaculture. For instance; observing before taking action, being mindful of why I am performing a certain task, reusing certain non-living plant materials, opting for the least harmful solutions to pests or invasive plants, starting small and natural when chemical intervention is required, and supporting plant and animal diversity. |
