So whether you’ve gotta show your overgrown shrubs who’s boss or need to bring the smack down on some border grass, here’s your new weapon.

  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One

    I wish I was better at gardening. The weeds seem to do better than the stuff I actually want to grow!

    Maybe juggling a couple of these bad boys while standing next to a giant topiary. Maybe then I could get something that looked like it came off the set of Edward Scissorhands.

    I NEED SKILLS! I wish I had more gardening skills! I inherited a very well-kept, established garden at my new house, and we really need an electric hedge trimmer to keep it that way! I’m already behind dead-heading all the rose bushes, and the shrub at the end of the driveway is encroaching on our driving space – I would LOVE to win these clippers!!
