We can help from planting to harvest.
Growing your own food can be an incredibly rewarding experience. But there’s more to it than tossing some seeds in the ground. Whether it’s your first-year gardening or you’ve been growing for decades a gardener is always learning. Illinois Extension has done the research for you and presents these easy-to-understand steps for planting, harvesting, cooking, and preserving your garden's harvest.

To reach a Master Gardener, individuals can call or stop by a local Extension office during Help Desk hours, or complete an online form for your county's Help Desk. Volunteers will assess your question and reply with a research-based answer.
