Gardening is a time-honored tradition for many West Virginia families Not only does it provide a great opportunity for kids to learn about math and science in their own back yards, it can also bring families closer together. The 2012 WVU Extension Service Garden Calendar is designed with this in mind.

Throughout the year gardeners will explore “Kids Gardening Adventure” in the 2012 calendar. It includes gardening articles written by WVU Extension experts with youth in mind. This year’s calendar also exhibits exclusive artwork designed by West Virginia 4-H’ers.

The free garden calendar, WVU Extension Service’s most requested publication, is now available at the Tyler Co. WVU Extension office.

To begin the 2012 gardening season with a green thumb, look to the experts and pick up your WVU Extension Service Garden Calendar at Tyler Co. Extension Service office, 311 Main St., Middlebourne, or reserve a copy by calling 304-758-2101.
