While Sharon was doing this, I started to clear the walkway between the bush bed and the bed next to the original bed. I pruned the growth of the Kaleidoscope Abelia, the Autumn Jazz Arrowwood Viburnum and the Cranberry Cotoneaster that was in this walkway.

Then I proceeded to remove the Pokeweeds [Phytolacca americana] which were in the bed next to the original bed.

Sharon and I started to clean up of the area around the bush bed. Sharon started at the front gate and started weeding, focusing on removing the Pokeweeds [Phytolacca americana]. She also started pruning the Chokeberry [Aronia melanocarpa]. We continued to do this for a couple of days culminating in starting to prune the Ninebark [Physocarpus opulifolius].
