Is Your Husband a Gardening Ninja?
Do you often find your partner hovering near the garden with a pair of pruning shears in hand, eyes gleaming with excitement? Maybe you’ve even caught him mid-snip, and you’ve had to rush in to save your precious shrubs and trees from overzealous pruning. If this sounds familiar, you might be living with a secret gardening ninja.
Many of our clients at GardenAdvice.co.uk have partners who share their passion for gardening but often hold back from pruning in fear of damaging plants and frankly getting a telling off from a wife or partner. Pruning can be tricky—too much, and you risk weakening the plant; too little, and you stunt its growth. It’s a delicate balance that can leave even the most enthusiastic of gardeners second-guessing themselves.
That’s where our One-Day Gardening Courses come in. These courses are designed to take those natural pruning instincts and sharpen them into expert skills. Whether it’s learning the right time to prune, understanding the different techniques for various plants, or identifying which branches to snip, our courses offer hands-on training that will turn any pruning enthusiast into a confident pro.
So, if your partner has a green thumb and a passion for pruning but needs some guidance to avoid going overboard, why not check out our courses? They’re a great way to channel that enthusiasm into expert knowledge, giving them the confidence to prune your garden with precision and care.
