City Gardener Program - Marion County
Purdue Extension-Marion County City Gardener Program
The City Gardener Program was developed in 2002 for new or inexperienced gardeners. It covers a variety of gardening topics and has a focus on gardening in urban areas. The program consists of about 12 hours of lectures and "hands on" learning at the White River Gardens.
Topics included in the program are:
Each participant receives a reference notebook containing outlines of each presentation and supporting publications.
What are people saying about the City Gardener Program?
