help uncover and prune back
roses, till flowerbeds, plant flowers, pull weeds, deadhead flowers, cut
back perennials, rake leaves, cover roses for winter, and spread mulch
around trees. Choose a specific area to maintain for the entire growing
season, or help on an ‘as needed’ basis. Some training may be required.
