Wondering how snowbirds handle the weeding of their beds while they are gone in the Summer. Are there services such as this in the Villages that anyone can recommend?

Fernview Farms does mine. Twice a month in the summer months, once per month in the winter months

In our ten years as part time Villages homeowners, weeds are right at the top of the list as one of our biggest headaches. If we were there full time, pulling them ourselves wouldn’t be so bad, an hour or so per week would do the trick. But anyone who goes away for any extended period between March and November simply can’t keep up with the relentless pests. Finding a reliable weed pulling service is close to impossible. We absolutely hate spraying poison carcinogens around our home as a solution, especially as dog owners. That being said, we finally gave up the perpetual loosing battle this summer and added spraying our garden beds to our lawn maintenance service contract.
