Horticulture

University of Illinois Extension connects people and their local horticulture and environmental concerns with the tools they need to pursue meaningful change. Whether it’s landscape aesthetics, sustainable practices, food production, pollinators, or a myriad of other topics, Illinois Extension has the resources people need.

The Illinois Extension state horticulture team produces gardening websites, seasonal webinars, and a Horticulture YouTube channel to make horticultural information easily accessible to everyone.
