A Kid’s Garden Adventure

2012 Garden Calendar Cover The 2012 WVU Extension Service Garden Calendar features articles that will help gardeners share the excitement of planting and growing fruits and vegetables with the children in their lives.

Through gardening, children can learn about science and math in their own backyards. A home garden is an ideal place for families to do some fun projects, such as planting a “pizza garden” and growing edible flowers or giant veggies.

The calendar has a different look this year because it features illustrations by our 4-H members from across West Virginia. We think you’ll enjoy looking at gardening through their eyes.

Each month of the calendar provides the perennially popular suggested dates for planting and carrying out other gardening activities.

Any of our 55 WVU Extension county offices will be happy to provide you with more gardening information. You also may want to check out the great array of gardening information found on our website.

About Vegetable Varieties

An additional counterpart to the Garden Calendar is About Vegetable Varieties featuring common vegetables with helpful information about:

  • Vegetable varieties
  • Days to maturity
  • Descriptive remarks
  • Resistance
