MONROE — The Green County Master Gardener Association volunteers will help others learn more about tackling garden chores Saturday, Sept. 28. 

Completing prep work this fall can reward you with a shorter to-do list in the spring and can also help eliminate garden pests and diseases, resulting in healthier plants. 

Fall class will be held from 9 a.m. to noon at the Green County Justice Center, 2841 6th Street, Monroe.

Three timely fall garden and landscaping topics will be featured during the presentation. Kasey Tousignant, owner of KCs Landscape of Monroe, will provide insight on end of season pruning, flowerbed and landscape care. Tousignant has a landscape technical diploma from Blackhawk Technical College and an associate’s degree in business management from BTC. 

Green County Master Gardener Association member Mike Davis will share his expertise on soil amending and composting. Three GCMGA members, Kris Winker, Susan Konopacki and Marilyn Sandin-Ross will teach those in attendance about fall plant division, techniques for moving garden perennials and planting bulbs for next spring and summer’s enjoyment.

This fall educational event is free and open to the public. The Green County Master Gardeners Association meets on the fourth Thursday of the month from February through October. Anyone interested in horticulture and gardening is welcome to join the association and you do not have to be a master gardener to be a member.
