Brenda's Blumenladen to Host Green County Master Gardeners

The Green County Master Gardeners will be holding their monthly tour on Thursday, September 22, at 6:30 p.m., at Brenda’s Blumenladen, 17 6th Avenue, New Glarus, WI. Anyone interested in exploring some fall topics with us is welcome to join the association at the tour location and you do not have to be a Master Gardener to attend.
Based on information provided by the Green County UW-Extension office, Green County Master Gardener members will review some of the types of bugs seen this year, what kinds of plants they are popular on, and how to control them. Following the bug presentation, the next section of the learning will be “Tips for Preparing Your Garden for Winter.” Green County Master Gardeners will present ideas on fall deadheading, cleaning up of flower beds and gardens, transplanting plants to different areas, and what to do to bring those outdoor plants or bulbs in for winter storage. The final section of this tour will be presented by Brenda’s Blumenladen. Discussions will include plants that can still be planted this fall, recommendations for planting them and showing us which of these plants they have available at Brenda’s Blumenladen.
The Green County Master Gardeners Association has meetings or tours on the fourth Thursday of the month from February through October. This will be the final tour for the 2016 season. Anyone interested in horticulture and gardening is welcome to join the association and you do not have to be a Master Gardener to be a member.
