Listen to us on the radio

Garden staff members Lisa Wagner, Sherry Aultman, and John Bodiford are on CU's radio program Your Day on Tuesdays on SCETV public radio (90.1 FM) at noon every other month, fielding questions about plants and gardening.

Other Clemson experts answer plant questions on alternate Tuesdays rotating with the 'Got Bugs?' guys answering questions about insects. They are live on the air on Tuesdays at 12:30pm.

   

Home & Garden Information Center

 

The CU Home and Garden Information Center has a number of fact sheets and additional information about gardening and landscaping available on their website. You can order many of these to be sent to your home and start a notebook of helpful gardening tips.

The Children's Garden

 

The Children's Garden initiative (link) is an ongoing project to develop the area between the Nature Center and the Sprouting Wings Greenhouse as a vibrant and lively garden space for children and adults to explore and learn.

 

There's lots more information available on the web, including excellent information from other universities, gardening sites, etc..

A site you might find interesting close to home is our Director of Education's blog about her home garden, which chronicles her seasonal observations. Lisa's favorite links will be posted soon, but meanwhile check out her blog...
