September softens the light along Lake Boulevard, and the sculpture lawn at the Krasl looks its best just as most gardens begin to slump. Second Nature Gardens works against that slump in St. Joseph yards — bed work, weeding, mulching, seasonal plant care, and the mowing, trimming and edging that frames a garden properly. A border only reads as a border when the grass beside it is held to a clean line. Fall brings the cleanup: spent stems cut back, leaves lifted off the perennials, everything set for a hard winter and an early spring. Gardens reward attention, and they show it right back.
