Hello!
My name is Monica Maggio - I’m a pruning expert & coach who loves working with people & plants!

I take the confusion out of pruning so you know exactly when & how to prune your plants for maximum beauty, health & abundance.

Ever feel like you need to prune your plants…but don’t really know where to begin or what to do?

You may also be wondering “Is this even the right time?!”

Then you search online…only to find a million different answers that don’t even agree with each other?!

So frustrating, right?!!

Well my friend, you’re not alone - pruning can definitely be confusing & intimidating!

And it’s not your imagination…some articles & videos out there say to do one thing, while others say to do something totally different!

If you’re done wasting your valuable time on those fruitless searches, I am the go-to person for simple, dependable methods to prune just about any plant in your yard with skill & success.

I’ll teach you not only how & when to prune, but also the “why” behind the techniques. That way you’ll have a better understanding & be able to apply your new pruning skills in many different contexts.

The best way to learn with me is to schedule a coaching session, or join me & lots of other gardeners like you in the Pruning Portal!
