Some yard “clean up” chores that we are accustomed to practicing every fall strip away the resources that soil life, insects, birds, and other animals need to survive winter. By skipping a few common practices, you will build healthy soils through natural decomposition processes and provide food and shelter to at-risk and endangered animals.
Join ecological gardener Diana Rice-Sheahan (and founder of Monarch Meadows ) as she shares advice on putting your gardens to bed for the winter. Diana will give advice on what to skip and how to use fallen leaves, twigs, and hollow stems to support biodiversity in your own yard! Class takes place at Codman Community Farms in the Education Pavilion - Thursday, October 23rd, 4:30pm-5:30pm
