Registration is closed

Most trees prefer to be pruned in winter; shrubs vary. Meanwhile, our birds, bees, and beetles are grateful if we let the seed heads of our grasses and perennials stay on until spring.

The first session of this class will be a guide to doing what's right to put your garden to bed.

The second session will cover timely information on the Emerald Ash Borer, beetles, and other garden threats.
