Putting Your Bed to Bed Workshop

Open To All - No RSVP or Ticket Required

Learn how to care for your soil and future garden by taking some simple steps to prepare your garden for winter. Your garden will thank you!

We will cover:

• Clean up

• Soil health, compost, and mulching options

• Fall plantings for spring plants

• Cover crops

  
  

We will plan to leave time in the end for you to start work on your beds and to help with the communal spots before the garden closes for the season.
