On October 19, 2019 Fall Into Gardening with the Master Gardeners at their beautiful Sherwood Demonstration Garden located at 6699 Campus Drive in Placerville. Presentations on a variety of topics will be given throughout the day. Visitors can come for a half hour class on Putting Your Garden to Bed in the Fall or stay all day!

The extra effort you put into your garden areas this fall will pay big dividends next year. Master Gardeners will discuss yard and garden clean up, cool season planting, tool sharpening/cleaning, composting/mulching and pruning. Learn why you should collect those valuable fall leaves. Time also spent in the Sherwood Demo Garden with examples of “putting your garden to bed.”
