"Please do not weed this area - it has flowers. Thank you"

Question

My Hispanic Gardeners are "weeding" my flower beds and removing flowers along with the weeds. I'd rather do it myself.

"Please do not pick the weeds in this area, it has flowers. Thank you"

Answer 1

"Por favor, no saque las malezas de aquí. Hay flores. Yo lo haré"

Just in case Kathy is curious, this says literally: Please, do not remove the weeds from here. There are flowers. I will do it. (Actually pointing to the particular flower bed would be highly recommended) - webdunce, Mar 1, 2010

Answer 3

With your gardeners, it's best to be as direct as possible and as simple as possible. I've had this same problem, so I would say, "Oigan jóvenes, por favor, no toquen nada al rededor de las flores. Yo sóla me encargo." A little polite chit-chat after might help them to remember your request as well, plus calling them young will help "seal the deal."
