UMaine Extension free home garden newsletter available

University of Maine Cooperative Extension publishes a free monthly newsletter for home gardeners — from novice to expert — with practical, research-based information available online for anytime access. 

The Maine Home Garden News, published from March through October, is archived by year and available for subscription. Each issue includes: a seasonal to-do list; articles on fruits, vegetables, native plants, lawn care, trees and shrubs; and links to videos and other resources.

“We enjoy sharing voices from a variety of Extension professionals and Maine gardeners in a fun and informative format,” says Kate Garland, UMaine Extension horticulturist and newsletter co-editor. Book reviews, profiles of Maine gardeners and in-depth features on pollinators are scheduled for upcoming issues.
