Gardening newsletter makes
a perfect year-round gift

For gardening friends and relatives, a gift subscription to Garden Check, the gardening newsletter from Delaware Cooperative Extension, may be the perfect answer. It's only $17.50 for 10 issues, and a gift card is provided for personalization. Garden Check is written for the home gardener in the mid-Atlantic region. Now in its 20th year, Garden Check offers expert advice for the home gardener on lawn care, planting, pruning and fertilizing from March through October. Delaware Cooperative Extension specialists and agents in horticulture, plant pathology, entomology and the environment keep readers up-to-date on current practices, preventatives and products. In addition, writers alert gardeners to upcoming problems before they get out of hand. With the increased concern about environmental issues, pesticide safety and water quality, Garden Check makes it easier for readers to avoid excessive, untimely or dangerous uses of lawn and garden products. To subscribe and/or order a gift subscription, send a check for $17.50 for each subscription payable to University of Delaware-to Garden Check Subscriptions, 910 South Chapel St., Newark, DE 19716-1303. The first issue will arrive in March. For more information, call Judy Magee at 831-1067 or e-mail <judmagee@udel.edu>.
