Fall Garden Triage with Michelle Reasor-West and Flo Smith

Michelle Reasor-West, Director of Horticulture for Pointer Landscape and primary host of the Garden Hotline, is joined by Flo Smith from the Missouri Botanical Garden. They walk through what to do and what not to do in the fall garden including why you might leave perennials standing, when to prune hydrangeas and boxwoods, how to protect trees and shrubs for winter, and how to help drought stressed plants recover. Flo shares insight from the Kemper Center where she works as a horticulturist and serves as a plant doctor. They also highlight Missouri native picks like Service Berry and point listeners to Kemper Center resources, the horticulture answer service, and seasonal events at the Missouri Botanical Garden.
