About this Event

As the gardening season winds down in Baltimore City, it’s important to prepare your green spaces for the colder months ahead. Join BMORE Beautiful and Master Gardeners Sara Service and David Weis for an educational workshop focused on garden winterization and the strategic use of cover crops.

We'll explore the many benefits of cover crops, including some exciting varieties well-suited to local growing conditions. You'll learn why, when, and how to sow them effectively, as well as discover some unexpected ways cover crops can give back to the gardener. A detailed handout will be provided, highlighting a range of cover crop options and the unique qualities of each.

You'll also learn practical winterization techniques—such as soil protection, plant care, and garden cleanup—that can make a big difference in your garden's long-term success. This workshop is perfect for gardeners of all levels looking to build healthier, more resilient gardens year-round.
