Best Winter Rest for your ‘Yarden’ (yard + garden)

Landscape designer and educator Michele Chalice presents this workshop on “Putting Your Garden To Sleep for a Fabulous Next Season” and presents simple steps this fall to create an easier, more productive next year’s garden and landscape. We’ll learn about winter mulching for healthier soil and fewer weeds, providing winter pollinator habitat, what to leave as food sources for songbirds and wildlife, and steps to take for less watering next year.
