Maine Home Garden News
Welcome to Maine Home Garden News! I hope the information in each issue of this newsletter will help you appreciate the beauty and wonder of plants in your landscape. We wish you a beautiful and bountiful growing season ahead.
In addition to this practical newsletter, your local UMaine Extension county office is available to assist you with gardening advice and information. The University of Maine Cooperative Extension also has numerous fact sheets and video clips to help you learn and grow.
Sincerely,
Katherine Garland, Co-Editor — Maine Home Garden News
The Maine Home Garden Newsletter is a collaboration between UMaine Extension staff, volunteers and community partners.
Please, let us know about the difference we have made in your gardening endeavors!
We hope you’ve enjoyed another year of Maine Home Garden News (MHGN). To continue receiving funding, UMaine Extension is asked to indicate what impacts we have made on the people we served in the past year. We would also like to take the opportunity to gather your input regarding the topics presented in the 2021 season of MHGN. This survey should take only about 10 minutes to complete.
Thank you for taking the time to help us let our stakeholders know about the difference we have made in your gardening endeavors. Go to the survey to participate.
On behalf of the entire MHGN team,
Kate Garland, Horticulturist
