Earthwise Gardening

Although nature is showing signs of slowing down and preparing for the winter season, it can also be looked upon as a new beginning. We may find ourselves shifting to a mellow frame of mind. What did well this year in the garden, how can I improve my veggie patch, how can my perennial bed show more autumn colors, what is the best location for my favorite plant(s)? Layer up with rain gear, garden trowel, gloves and embrace the autumn.

The SGC October presentation is an introduction to Earthwise Society.
