Tip for Great Looking Gardens

On today's "You Bet Your Garden," on WHYY-FM, host Mike McGrath, who is a four-time Best of Show winner at the Philadelphia Flower Show, said that for a beautiful garden, it is better to "clean up bad things," than to "pile on good things." Don't forget to prune and weed!
