At the end of the summer, what do you do with all those special patio plants that you have fussed over for the summer months? This class will give gardeners tricks of the trade to protect their tender perennials, house plants, woody potted specimens, and succulent collections and encourage them to thrive during the winter season. Taught by Jenna O’Brien, the class will include cultivation, fertilizing, watering, and healthcare. Learn by doing, and take home some plant companions.

Jenna O'Brien, lifetime resident of the Berkshires and owner/founder of Viridissima Horticulture & Design and the blog Berkshire Garden Style, has been working in Berkshire gardens for 25 years. Jenna specializes in container gardening, perennial garden design and care and country estate garden management.
