Tips for Hardy Gardeners - keeping your plants protected while the snow falls

Want to plant a tree?  Tom Kasper says the first thing is to look up.  Power or phone lines in the way?*  Relocate your tree.

So you have a shrubbery in your yard, perhaps close to the street or your driveway.

Maybe you even have an additional shrubbery, perhaps with a little path between the two.

So what do you do when the only place to plow or shovel snow is ... on your shrubbery?

Tom Kasper reminds us in these winter months to be mindful of where we direct our slowblower jetsam. Especially with icy or heavy snow, branches can be easily damaged.
