Horticulture affects everyone -- from the trees along our city streets to flowers in backyard gardens. Gardening is one of the top hobbies. Consumers spend time, money and energy on their lawns, trees, flowers, fruits and vegetables. The horticulture program of the Champaign County Unit strives to disseminate up-to-date research based information to home gardeners through workshops, publications, public speaking, garden tours and displays.
Our horticulture programs provide information on trees, shrubs, landscaping, fruits, vegetable gardening, flower gardening, houseplants, lawns, soils and fertilizers.
Environmental issues are also a part of the horticulture program. Issues include waste management, composting, reducing yard waste, integrated pest management and proper pesticide use.
