Sunalta Gardening Series - Fall into Spring for a Great Garden Next Year

Fall isn’t the end of gardening — it’s the beginning of next season! Join us to learn how to prepare your garden now for a thriving spring.

Fall is often considered the ending of the garden season: a matter of just rapping the garden up. But there is a lot that we Prairie gardeners can do now to prepare for next seasons gardening…and get a jump start on Spring

Fall gardening activities are part of the continuum of the gardening cycle, with a focus on on soil improvement, compost building, cover cropping, seed saving, planting bulbs and fall sowing, It includes assessing your gardens successes this year; preparing a plan for the bed/garden now so that you can order seeds & bulbs early; plus bringing in those plants you intend to overwinter indoors.
