Gardeners love summer.  But as the old saying goes, “all good things must come to an end,” so too does the gardening season come to an end.  You may ask yourself, “Now what should I do?”  Should I rake the leaves or leave them on the yard?  Should I aerate or thatch the lawn before winter?  How should I protect my shrubs and new trees from winter wildlife?  All these questions and more will be answered in this presentation. (Speaker Lisa Johnson)
