University of
Wisconsin Garden Fact Sheets
Free, downloadable, customizable plant-related
information from the UW-Extension Horticulture Team on a variety of topics.
Available as either Word or pdf files
through the
UW
Urban Hort website. The disease fact sheets are also accessible through the
Plant Disease
Diagnostics Clinic Home Page and the insect ones can also be found on the Insect
Diagnostic Lab website.
Mini Hort
Fact Sheets
These sets of mini-fact sheets on various horticultural topics can be used as
handouts at Farmer’s Markets, county fairs, or other venues where MGs interact
with the public and answer gardening questions. These are designed as a single
sheet to be copied and then cut into four quarter-page leaflets, making these
handouts more economical than a full sheet of paper. There is both a black and
white version (that could be copied on colored paper) and a color version
(same text on each). Consider adding your own contact info (such as your UWEX
office phone number, local hort hotline number, MG website address, etc.) on
the reverse.
There are four different topics each month throughout the growing season, including vegetables, flowers, pests and other gardening issues. Any other resources on those topics – such as Extension publications, websites, articles on the MG website, etc. – are listed on page 2 and 3 of the B&W file (this is the same info repeated twice, formatted for quarter sheets so it can be printed on the reverse of the fact sheets (pg 2) and full page width (page 3)).
