Gardening Resources

Wasatch and Summit Counties Horticulture Needs Survey

Do you have specific horticulture related questions? Needs? Taking this survey will better help us understand the needs and interests of those in our community related to horticulture and gardening. It will help us better develop programs and services specific to your needs. Be sure to take the survey and let us know how we can better serve you!

Wasatch Back Fruit Tree Citizen Science Project

Do you live along the Wasatch Back and have fruit trees? USU Extension in Wasatch and Summit counties needs your help! We're attempting to consolidate information from backyard fruit growers like you to provide the best information about which fruit trees (only apple and peach right now) grow best in our unique area. We're looking to collect bloom and harvest timing data. Sign up to participate and you'll get an email this spring to collect data on your fruit trees.

Soil Testing

Your soil is the nutrient bank for your plants. One of the best things you can do as a gardener to better help your plants while being environmentally conscious and responsible is to know what nutrient levels are present in your soil. Consider submitting a soil test to better understand what you should and shouldn't be adding to your soil!

Monthly Garden Tips

USU Extension's Gardener's Almanac provides month-by-month tips and tasks to make sure you are on top of all things gardening! Each month also has links to dozens of timely, relevant, useful resources to help you in all your horticulture endeavors.
