Garland speaks to PPH about preparing gardens for the winter

Kate Garland, horticultural specialist at the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, spoke to the Portland Press Herald about preparing gardens for the winter. Garland said that ideally, gardens should include natives that should survive naturally, as well as hardy non-natives. “I am of the mindset that people should create a resilient landscape that does not require a lot of maintenance or protection,” she said.
