End of Season Care

Fall is the best time to plant garlic before the ground freezes. We plant garlic and shallots in late fall, followed by our end-of-season care.

Not sure what to do with your garden this season? Our end-of-season care includes:

  • Fall garden clean-up
  • End of season composting

  • Mulching perennials

  • Garlic and shallot planting

  • Garden performance review
