Learn how to put your garden “to bed” by dividing plants, lightly pruning various shrubs, and updating winter pots at the Darien Community Association Greenhouse Group’s annual Free Fall Gardening Workshop next Tuesday, Oct. 16.
Novice gardeners will be given tips; experienced gardeners are welcome to just help out. This event is free to all.
