Want your blueberry bushes loaded with fruit this summer? 🌿

The secret to bigger, sweeter berries is winter pruning! I’m offering blueberry bush pruning services for people who live in the Nelson area.

✨ What I offer:

• Pruning to remove dead and unproductive wood.
• Shaping for better airflow and sunlight exposure.
• Careful attention to encourage strong, healthy growth.

Late winter to early spring is the BEST time to prune blueberries, setting them up for a fruitful season ahead.

If your blueberry bushes need some love, I’d be happy to help! DM me or comment below to book a spot. I only have 5 spots available so please claim your spot asap!
