Saturday, September 12, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm – Bringing Plants in for the Winter
At the end of the summer what do you do with all those special patio plants that you have slaved over for the summer months? This Berkshire Botanical Garden class on Saturday, September 12 from 2 – 4 will give gardeners tricks of the trade to protect their tender perennials, house plants, woody potted specimens and succulent collections and encourage them to thrive during the winter season. Topics will include cultivation, fertilizing, watering and healthcare. Learn by doing and take home some plant companions. These simple cost-saving methods will help gardeners multiply their plant supply for the next season’s garden. Bring hand pruners.
