November is the time to prepare your garden for the colder winter months so it looks its best and returns in the spring in the best shape possible. We will talk through what we do in the garden at this time and will discuss what is and isn’t getting cut back. We will also discuss adding mulch for cold protection, removing and composting annuals, and other best practices.
