Prepare your garden for the cool season ahead! Join us for the first part of this two-part workshop. In preparation for our winter planting, we will be harvesting food, pulling out plants, and amending the soil in a raised bed. Participant will learn about different weeds and bugs, about soil structure, saving seeds, and other fall garden activities. This workshop is hosted by the UCCE Master Gardeners of Santa Clara County. This first event builds on the second event; however, you are not required to attend both. Click here to register.
