Gardening tips for each season of the year.

Illinois Extension can help you dig up some of the best tips, techniques, and practices related to horticulture. We have a vast collection of resources on gardening, lawn management, composting, landscaping, insect and disease, and much more. We recognize that home and commercial horticulturalists each have unique needs, so we've cultivated a set of resources designed to address their top concerns. These collections represent the topic areas where we usually get the most questions, but our expertise covers everything from trees to tomatoes to tulips. Contact one of our educators with your questions!
