Fall Garden Prep: Transplanting, Pruning & Bringing on the Autumn Color

Conversations with Alaska Gardeners

About

David Lendrum and Margaret Tharp of Landscape Alaska dive into fall gardening in Juneau, covering everything from transplanting shrubs and trees to cutting back perennials and preparing plants for winter. They discuss proper pruning techniques, the challenges of fast-spreading rugosa roses and horseradish, late-season fertilizer and nematode treatments, and the colorful fall displays from Japanese maples, azaleas, geraniums, and Bergenia. The episode also features tips for planting in the fall, including how to protect newly transplanted plants with proper watering basins. 09-19-26
