Announcements and Highlights
National Volunteer Week: April 21-27
Our sincere "Thank you!" to the more than 120 Extension volunteers in our service area who make meaningful impacts in our communities every day! Without their leadership, time, talents, and commitment we could not accomplish all we do. We welcome you to learn more and join the fun:
Free Seeds
Gardeners…come in to the Sterling Illinois Extension office to choose some seeds for the upcoming growing season! Offered free thanks to generous donations from Blain's Farm & Fleet and Walmart Supercenter, Sterling. First come, first served for a variety of flower and vegetable seeds.
