Gardening, Cooking and Family Fun
Our gardens' director, Jerry Goodspeed, is one of the great teachers who'll be part of two events that will brighten a winter evening and send you home with new ideas and tools for you and your family. Live Well Utah, presented by USU Extension, will be a fun night out for adults where you can choose from four hands-on workshops. Jerry  will lead a workshop on starting seeds indoors, and you'll take away new skills, potting materials and seeds. For more details and pre-registration, click here.

Winter is the Time to Plan Your Garden
Now is a great time to browse seed catalogs (in print or online) and  start making plans for this year's yard and garden. Include old favorites in your plan and consider trying something you haven't grown before. The USU Extension Yard and Garden website has an extensive list of vegetable and herbs - from artichokes to watercress - and tips for growing them in Utah. For those tips and other helpful information to  inspire your green thumb and imagination, click here.
