Fall is for gardening!

Fall is for gardening!

Here in Central Virginia, there is so much gardening you can do in September, October, and into November. Join us as we talk about how to extend the harvests from your vegetable garden. What to plant now and how to protect plants so you can enjoy fresh produce well beyond first frost. We’ll also provide tips for fall garden cleanup and planning for next year. 

In the ornamental garden, this is the best time to take notes, edit your beds, and move perennials. While plants are at their full size, you can better envision how to make your ornamental beds even better next year. We’ll also talk about keeping your beds looking good through the fall and how to prepare for the winter.
