Help with a garden #877900

Asked July 19, 2024, 10:53 AM EDT

Hello. In my previous state our folks who were working toward becoming master gardeners would come out to help novice gardeners that were stuck. My issue is that I have a very advanced beautiful garden, but I am a beginning gardener that has trees growing among shrubs, and I don’t know what to do to get the trees out of the shrubs without ruining the shrubs kindergarten help me with this?

Good Morning, 

Thank you for contacting the U of M Extension Service. 

I am not sure I am understanding what you need. Did you move to the house with the garden and you cannot identify the plants? Are the trees in the garden volunteer trees you need to remove? 

Master Gardeners do not usually do home visits. Here is a link to the Hennepin County Extension Master Gardeners  https://hennepinmastergardeners.org/contact-us/

You could contact them and ask if they do home visits. 

Here is a link from the U of M Extension Yard and Garden website about landscape design:

You can search this website for any residential gardening information. 

Good Luck!
