  • Monday 11/10 @ 6pm: Preparing Your Garden for Winter: It's that time of year again! Time to rake, cut back, weed, divide, clear debris, mulch, overwinter, prepare new beds, plant bulbs, and protect your tender evergreens and newer plantings from winter hazards. In other words - another beautiful autumn in New England! Sponsored by the Friends of the Berlin Public Library.
