Gardening with the Seasons: Fall (online)

Cost: $25 Financial aid slots available on a first-come, first-served basis REGISTER ONLINE Autumn is a dynamic season in the garden. Many plants are heading into dormancy, while others are in a period of active growth. Doing the right gardening tasks now can set the stage for next year's garden: adding new plants for seasonal interest or making changes to address problems observed over the past season. Some of the best things to do - or to avoid - at this time of year may seem counter-intuitive to some gardeners. This session will cover what to plant in fall, lawn care, how to prepare the garden for winter, and how to maximize seasonal interest and appearance. About this series: Plants and gardens don't live by the written calendar, but by the seasonal cycles and cues of changes in daylight, temperature, and moisture. When gardeners become acquainted with the seasonal rhythms and life cycles in the garden, and learn to work in sync with nature, caring for the garden becomes more of a process and less of a battle with potential garden enemies. This series will help beginning and seasoned gardeners learn how to capitalize on optimal timing and sustainable practices to have a great garden all year long. Instructor Christina Pfeiffer is a horticulture consultant and educator with over 40 years’ experience in landscape horticulture. She brings an emphasis on sustainable garden practices that work in sync with nature to her classes. She holds degrees in horticulture from Michigan State and the University of Washington, and is an ISA Certified Arborist ®. For Christina, the next best thing to being in the garden is teaching and writing about gardening. This online class will be delivered using Zoom. New to Zoom? Get started here .
