Growing one’s own fruits and vegetables is great for a person’s personal health, but how much do you know about one’s garden’s health? The 2025 West Virginia University Extension garden calendar covers important topics that will help a person establish a healthy garden from the ground up.
The calendar, themed “Steps to a Healthy Garden,” features articles and educational information about foundational garden topics, like soil health and fertility, selecting the right varieties, proper watering techniques and managing insects.
The calendar also offers other helpful material, including growing advice, food preservation recommendations, crop rotation information and healthy recipes that can be used from a garden’s harvest, all provided by WVU Extension experts.
Readers will find fun facts and information about some of WVU Extension’s other programs scattered throughout the calendar as well.
To obtain a copy of the calendar, while supplies last, or learn more about gardening and healthy lifestyles, contact the WVU Extension office in Pendleton County at 304-358-2286.
Beginning in January 2025, bonus content will be available on the garden calendar website.
