Fall in the Garden
is Fabulous & Fresh
My favorite time of year is
enjoying the transition in the
garden from fall to winter.
Watching the plants and
wildlife in the cooler
seasons can bring
much entertainment.
Taking the cue from
nature, slowing down and
preparing for cooler seasons is a
great lesson for each of us.
You might find that the fall is less
flowery than spring and summer, but
if you slow down to observe, the subtle
changing of colours will lead into
a one last flare up before becoming
dormant for winter.
Listening to the birds as they
gather to make their journeys south,
cleaning out the last of summer’s
bounty from the vegetable garden,
relocating falling leaves to the garden
or compost from the yard, can be
enjoyed if you take the time to slow
down instead of feeling rushed to get
things done.
The things I like to do in the fall to
winter slow down are:
1) Remove all vegetation from the
veggie garden and add compost and
manure so the gardens are ready for
spring.
2) Plant seed garlic (use straw or
leaves to mulch for the winter).
3) Instead of bagging all your leaves,
Welcome to The Village of

mulch with your lawn mower as much
as possible to return the energy to the
lawn or gardens.
4) Put out feed for the birds
migrating and the ones moving here
for the winter - sunflower heads or
corn cobs hanging in the garden are
sure to delight the birds (or squirrels).
If you provide a reliable source of feed
and seeds, many birds will call your
garden home for the winter months.
5) Leave a ‘wild’ area in your garden
for overwintering beneficial insects to
call home and leave stems of spent
flowers and grasses to shelter these
until spring.
6) There is still time to add a few
winter interest plants to your outdoor
gardens such as red stem dogwoods
and evergreen plants.
7) As your fall flowering mums
finish out October, transition your
planters to winter cut greenery and
stems to keep your home looking
welcoming to your friends and family.
