As the days grow shorter and there’s a crisp chill in the air, it’s tempting to tuck the garden in and call it a season. But before you put your plants to bed, let’s make sure they’re truly ready for their winter nap!
Join Claudia for a lively, myth-busting session on what your garden really needs this fall. Is it time to prunevor should those shears stay in the shed? To fertilize or not to fertilize? And what about mulch… how much is too much?
You’ll learn simple, practical tips to protect your plants, strengthen their roots, and set the stage for a vibrant spring comeback. Think of it as a cozy send-off party for your garden so it can rest well and wake up thriving!
