Soil Savvy: A Key to Successful Front Range Gardening

Whether a vegetable garden, a flower bed, or a lawn with trees and shrubs, soil properties contribute to at least 80% of all landscape plant problems that we encounter along the Front Range, and yet soil is the resource that we usually know the least about. Learn how to assess the properties of your soil and how to use knowledge of soil properties as an important landscape management tool to improve both soil and plant health.

Presenter: Jean Reeder
Dr. Reeder spent more than 30 years conducting research on soil properties for the USDA Agricultural Research Service. Since retiring, she works as a consultant for the CSU Soil Testing Lab, and as a soils instructor for the CSU Extension Master Gardener program.

Date/Time: Monday, January 9, 6:00-7:30 p.m.

Location:
High Plains Environmental Center,
1854 Piney River Drive

Cost: $15 per person

To register, call LYG at 669-7182 by January 8.

Loveland Plant a Row for the Hungry

In 1995, the Garden Writers Association began Plant a Row for the Hungry (PAR), a national program where people grow extra vegetables in their gardens to help feed the hungry in their community.

Loveland Youth Gardeners initiated Loveland PAR in 2005. To date, Loveland PAR has contributed more than 56,000 lbs. of produce to needy families in our community.

If you would like to be a part of 2012 Loveland PAR, please call the Loveland Youth Gardeners office at 669-7182.
