Re: Why Not Replace Your Plants With Styrofoam?

I agree and disagree. While some people prune plants that look best unprunned, there is something to be said about being able to make a columnar plant into a spiral, trimming boxwood hedges or cypress into arches or hedges, or just topiary in general. Everything is best in moderation though :) Yes, a little harsh of a column..Not everyone shares our love for gardening or maybe its an 80 year old widow with no means to pull out that horrific yew!
