How to Winterize Your Garden - Join SUNY Delhi’s Horticulture faculty and students for tips about putting your landscape "to bed" for the winter. Learn the why, when and how for your garden and plants. We hope this session “leaves” the audience with a little knowledge and inspiration for do-it-yourself green thumbs!

Beaujolais is Burgundy’s southern-most wine district,                                                        producing wines with a unique character. Chef Sommo helps us                                                          explore the wines of Beautiful Beaujolais! Look for these in your local                                                shop or try something similar. Chef Sommo also suggests Vivino.

                                      another wine from Morgon or a different Beaujolais cru.
