Get Growing GraphicLooking for the perfect gift for a loved one who is into gardening? Or perhaps you’d like to treat yourself?

Join Purdue Extension Educators for a live virtual series of programs in early 2021 that will address common topics in gardening.

This series is designed for those that want to learn a little bit about how plants grow, common garden problems, how to grow vegetables, fruits, and flowers, and how to maintain trees, shrubs and lawns.

Author’s note: It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement from Purdue at the end of 2020. I’ve learned so much from Indiana gardeners over my 36 years as Purdue Extension’s Consumer Horticulture Specialist! I wish you all continued happy growing!
