University of Illinois Extension’s Four Seasons Gardening Series focuses on environmental stewardship, home gardening and backyard food production. These statewide programs are offered at your local Extension offices in Collinsville and Waterloo.

On February 25, 1:30 p.m. join Horticulture Educator, Martha Smith, for Colorful Conifers. Get ready to add “shock and awe” to your landscape all season long with colorful conifers of all sizes. Did you know some conifers change colors through the seasons? Working with all-yearlong foliage color can be challenging. Martha will show you how to re-think your landscape to bring out the best foliage display!
