Fall is a glorious time of year to work in the garden. It’s the ideal time to take stock of perennial gardens, correct mistakes, dig up and rearrange existing plants and plant a cover crop. Putting the garden to bed is a gradual process which continues right up until the ground freezes. University of Illinois, Kankakee County staff will demonstrate fall planting of cover crops, planting garlic and preparing the garden for spring
