Purdue Extension-Spencer County Launches Farm, Home, and Garden Gazette

Welcome to the Farm, Home, and Garden Gazette, an online publication of the Purdue Extension Service of Spencer County.  The intent of this publication is to provide research-based, timely, and up-to-date news articles, announcements, and resources to the residents of Spencer County and beyond.  This publication does not replace our regular Extension newsletter, mailed every-other month to over 820 households.  Instead, the Farm, Home, and Garden Gazette is a supplement to the newsletter and provides an additional way to reach you with agricultural, horticultural, and consumer news and information in a conveniently accessible form.
