ADVERTISER OF THE WEEK: University of Maryland Extension Home & Garden Information Center

The Home and Garden Information Center (HGIC) is a state-wide program that provides outreach education to Maryland residents and beyond.

HGIC has been a national model for outreach education since 1990. Their success is the result of inter-disciplinary programming and multiple learning/teaching modes. Their educators develop web resources and are engaged in social media, direct client consultations via email and phone, classroom instruction, hands-on training, and demonstration projects.

From their website you can access:

• Earth-friendly, research-based gardening information and education: extension.umd.edu/hgic
• Certified Professional Horticulturists who will answer your garden, plant ID, and pest questions. To send your questions and upload images, click on "Ask Maryland's Gardening Experts." 
  
• The Maryland Master Gardener program
• The Grow It Eat It program
