Horticulture & Agriculture

Our Idaho Home Garden Tips program is a great place to start for home gardeners, but we also have our Idaho Master Gardener program for those wanting a more rigorous gardening program.

As well as our weekly Pest Alert newsletter that track pests in the area and give you the most accurate information for managing them in southeast Idaho.
