WVU Extension Garden Calendars available

Gardening is a time honored tradition for many West Virginia families. Not only does it provide a great opportunity for kids to learn about math and science in their own backyards, but it can also bring families closer together. The WVU Extension Service Garden Calendar is designed with this in mind.

Throughout the year, gardeners will explore “Kids’ Gardening Adventures,” in the 2012 calendar. It includes gardening articles written by WVU Extension experts and artwork designed by West Virginia 4-H’ers.

The free garden calendar, WVU Extension Service’s most-requested publication, is now available at the your local WVU Extension Service office.
