October is often the month we “put our gardens to bed” As the growing season comes to end, it is helpful to clean and put your garden to bed for the winter. A good fall cleanup provides multiple benefits for gardeners – it reduces weed populations and disease, minimizes plant insect pests, prevents rodent infestation, and eases the workload for next year’s spring planting.This workshops is offered for free thanks to the URI Master Gardener Program. All are welcome.To register or learn more visit: https://northkingstown-ri.whofi.com/calendar/event/1279432
