Putting the Garden to Bed

Putting your garden to bed class.
  • This event has passed.

The days are shortening, and frost is in the air. Now is the time to put the garden to bed and look towards the future. We will cover fall seed collection, winter sowing, over-wintering strategies for beds and containers, and the ever-important step of recording your successes and challenges of the last year to help inform the plans for next year.

This program takes place in-person (at Mt. Cuba Center) Saturday, November 5
