Fall in love with your autumn garden

Don’t let the recent sunshine fool you. Winter … is coming. So, your garden better be ready for the cold temperatures ahead.

How exactly do you put your garden to bed so it will be ready for the next growing season? What can you grow during the colder months? Are there plants that can stay outside year round, and what needs to be taken inside for shelter? Plus, what to keep in mind as those fall leaves flutter to the ground and the little ecosystems that grow in them.

We’ve assembled a panel of gardening experts to tackle all these questions, as well as yours, on the next Charlotte Talks.

GUESTS:

Erin Hostetler, local gardener and owner of The Patio Farmer
Cherie Jzar, local gardener, farmer, and owner of Deep Roots CPS Farm
Mary Roberts, owner of Windcrest Farms in Monroe
