Horticulture

Purdue Publications Page -- Download many of Purdue University's bulletins for free! (Many require Adobe Acrobat to open)

Extension Notes: On-line copies of Larry Caplan's weekly column with the Evansville Courier & Press.

Hort Alerts: This is a free service of the Vanderburgh County Extension Service. Hort Alerts are e-mails sent out on an irregular basis, whenever a news-worthy item of horticultural interest comes through my office. Past Hort Alerts have let area gardeners know about the appearance of new pest problems, equipment recalls, and upcoming educational programs. The link goes to the main page, from where you can download past Hort Alerts, as well as read the Impact that Hort Alerts has on the community. Items of timely nature (like announcing an upcoming class) will be removed once the date has passed.
