2010 Garden Calendar

A Garden Sketchbook



2010 Garden Calendar Poster The 2010 WVU Extension Service Garden Calendar again includes the popular planting and planning dates feature and expert articles on timely garden topics.

This year the information focuses on growing and caring recommendations for some of the more popular garden plants and a few not so common ones. These articles also share basic garden advice to help the beginner or seasoned gardener grow a successful garden. You will also find a growing guide chart on the featured plants.

A “Sketchbook Garden” is a back-to-basics calendar with illustrations that we hope you will enjoy and that may help you to recognize plants you find unfamiliar. Perhaps these “sketches” will inspire you to start your own sketchbook or try planting something new.

If you are “drawn” to gardening, this publication will certainly be an important tool in helping you bring fresh, wholesome produce full of homegrown goodness to your table and even to lucky friends and neighbors.
