The growing season may be coming to an end, but fall is still an important time in the garden. In this course, you will learn how to prepare your garden for the coming winter weather. Which perennials should be cut back and which should you leave standing until spring? Which trees and shrubs need to be pruned, and how can you protect them from the coming frost? And what should you do with all those leaves?
