Horticulture

Horticulture is the science and art of cultivating vegetables, fruits, flowers, and ornamental plants. Here at the Clinton County Cooperative Extension, we help the area's community members learn about the many facits of lawn and garden care, have an active Master Gardener Volunteer Program, and are helping market producers find innovating ways grow a better product and to get fresh, local produce to the consumer. Each year we accomplish this by means workshops, events, phone calls, office visits, and site visits.

We want you to have fun exploring our web-based resources, but also encourage you to stop by either of our offices with questions and/or samples, call us, and attend our hands-on workshops and events!
