Garden talk slated Monday
PORT TOWNSEND — Jefferson County Master Gardeners Ann Klosterman and Sarah Fairbank will present “Putting Your Garden to Bed” at the Washington State University Jefferson County Extension office, 380 Jefferson St., from noon to 1 p.m. Monday (Sept. 16).
The talk is part of the Master Gardeners’ Aphids to Zucchini lecture series.
Klosterman and Fairbank will give tips on cutting back and cleaning up.
Many pests and diseases overwinter in plant debris, so extra effort put in this fall will pay off next year.
Visitors can bring a brown-bag lunch and questions for the presenters.
