Opis

Like most things in life, pruning is a science...and an art. The science says you have to get rid of damage and excess to promote growth. The art says there is a way to do it that creates and enhances beauty. As Director of Landscape Services at the beautiful University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) campus, Jeff McManus knows a few things about the science and art of pruning...among other things. Praise for Jeff McManus and Pruning Like a Pro During my 14 years as Chancellor at Ole Miss, I had the privilege of working on many landscape projects with Jeff McManus. Jeff's experience, insight, and vision of growing and developing not only the campus, but also the people with whom he worked truly enriched the campus environment. Robert Khayat
Chancellor Ole Miss 1995-2009 Author, The Education of a Lifetime My wife, Susan, and I love Ole Miss and have invested in its institutional growth. Jeff McManus has proven time and again that visual appeal works wonders when recruiting and retaining our students. His value to the University doesn't stop at pruning, but he certainly has proven that pruning correctly can transform a pretty campus to the most beautiful campus in America. Larry Martindale
