ORONO — University of Maine Cooperative Extension publishes a free monthly newsletter for home gardeners, from novice to expert, with practical, research-based information available online for anytime access, according to a news release from the extension.
The Maine Home Garden News is published March through October, archived by year and is available for subscription. Each issue includes a seasonal to-do list; articles on fruits, vegetables, native plants, lawn care, trees and shrubs; and links to videos and other resources.
“We enjoy sharing voices from a variety of extension professionals and Maine gardeners in a fun and informative format,” said newsletter co-editor Kate Garland, UMaine Extension horticulturist, according to the release. Book reviews, profiles of Maine gardeners and in-depth features on pollinators are scheduled for upcoming issues.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way.
