With a new month comes the first crimson clover bloom! Committee member and Professor Emeritus Dr. Art Bomke noticed this beauty in our clover cover crop beds. Cover crops are meant to enrich the soil this season in order to prepare for planting berry bushes next season! Make sure to check the beds out next time you're in the garden.
