Maintenance day visits

You go on a vacation or life gets in the way.  All of a sudden you are overwhelmed with weeds and bugs in your garden? Or you want a garden but honestly you don’t have time, energy or desire for garden chores? I can help! Book a weekly or monthly maintenance day.  Please visit my prices page.

Pest Management

You will have pests without question because they are widely abundant in Vermont. I can help with a pest management consultation. I will teach you how to deal with all common pests! The primary actions I will teach you include: handpicking, traps, pruning, biological foliar sprays (LAB lactobacillus, BT bacillus thuringensis), how to attract, stock and keep beneficial insect partners to kill bad bugs. During our visit, we will begin the battle with whatever you have or apply preventative measures. Please visit my PEST page for more details.
