Finally, a To-Do list you’ll actually enjoy! We’re all ready for warmer weather, and so are our gardens. This class discusses all the garden “P’s”: Preparation, Prevention, Protection, and Pruning. Warmer weather awakens not just our dormant plants, but the insects, weeds, and fungus that have been lurking since the first frost.
