How does your garden grow?

According to research, you like to garden and work in your yard. In fact, residents in the Boise metro area like to garden more than the national average.

We also know you are busy - who has time to go search out information when you can be outside? So we've tried to make it easy for you.

Just go to idahostatesman.com/register to sign up for our new gardening newsletter. You'll get news and information on caring for your lawn or garden, and find out about upcoming local gardening classes and events. Learn from Elaine Walker - a University of Idaho Master Gardener. Plus, get a sneak preview of gardening expert Margaret Lauterbach's weekly column.

We have thoughts about other newsletters we can create. But are there any topics you like use to offer in future newsletters?
