Newsletter: Why Rake? Let Nature Take Its Course

Hello, Tim! If raking leaves isn't your cup of tea, fret not. Your lawn and garden beds will benefit if you mow the leaves into the lawn and leave them where they fall on planting beds. Chrysanthemums are the quintessential fall flower. This season, skip the quick color fix from the local garden center and plant some truly hardy chrysanthemums that will survive the winter and rebloom for years to come.
