The garden sits like a paused clock, waiting for a deliberate autumn tune you’ll conduct. You’ll start by clearing debris, but leave a thin leaf litter layer for wildlife, then prune damaged stems with clean cuts. Next, assess soil and pests, add compost, and mulch to brace roots for winter. Plan sturdy, autumn-color perennials and […]
