Following a short business meeting the featured speaker will be Ron Trexler, Advanced Master Gardener, who will present “Putting the Garden to Bed”
During this presentation attendees will learn the steps necessary to properly prepare their gardens for winter, including: finishing off annuals and vegetable beds, preparing perennial beds to reduce pests and disease, overwintering non-hardy plants, readying ornamental shrubs and evergreens to survive various winter conditions, and tending to tools and supplies.
