Following the cycle of the seasons, she will cover such tasks as dealing with winter storm damage and salt; doing a soil test and interpreting results; winter and summer pruning of native trees and shrubs; planting, dividing, and cutting back native perennials, grasses, and sedges; dealing with summer flooding and drought; and making use of fall leaves. She will also share information on making wise selections of plants and choosing lawn alternatives as well as year-long practices to encourage and support local wildlife.
