Get your garden ready for winter by avoiding four common fall gardening mistakes that may be doing more harm than good. In this video, I break down popular late-season garden advice using soil science and plant physiology to explain what your plants and soil are actually doing as temperatures drop.
We’ll look at why yellowing leaves aren’t always a nutrient deficiency, what natural plant senescence really means, and which common fall garden tasks you may want to rethink before frost arrives. You’ll also learn how decisions around plant cleanup, soil management, watering, and other end-of-season tasks can affect your garden heading into winter and next spring.
If you’re preparing your vegetable garden for fall and wondering what to remove, what to leave alone, and what actually matters before winter, this science-based guide will help you make better decisions.
🌱 Topics include: fall garden cleanup, preparing a garden for winter, soil health, plant senescence, yellow leaves, fall gardening mistakes, winter garden preparation, vegetable gardening, and science-based gardening.

Ashley has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.
