- Want a calendar that reminds you every month what you should be doing in your garden? Or perhaps you would like a unique and distinctive holiday gift for other gardeners on your shopping list? The Jefferson County Gardeners are selling 2019 calendars with beautiful and interesting photos of plants and flowers taken by Master Gardeners. The calendars are available at the CSU Extension Office at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds for $14 each or by mail for $16 (quantities of five or more to one address will not be charged the shipping fee). The money raised from the sale of the calendars will fund scholarships for horticultural students in Colorado.
Each calendar features:
- Twelve months of beautiful high-quality photographs taken in Jefferson County.
Each month has a “Gardening To Do List” especially written for Jeffco gardeners.
- Six months each have a photo of a Plant Select® specimen. Plant Select® is a non-profit program jointly run by Colorado State University, Denver Botanic Gardens and professional horticulturists. Plants selected for the program must be tough and resilient, have low water needs and be non-invasive. They also must be aesthetically pleasing! For more information on the Plant Select® program, go to https://plantselect.org.
- Six months each have a photo of a Native Plant specimen. Native plants are low-maintenance and are beneficial to wildlife and pollinators. For more information on learning about Native Plants, go to http://conativeplantmaster.colostate.edu.
Both Plant Select® and Native Plant photos include a brief paragraph with information on how to care for them.
Both common and botanical names of all plants are provided.
Printed on a matte finish to allow for writing your appointments on the appropriate date.
- Calendar size is 9 x 12 inches, so there is plenty of room for writing on each date. Each month also has a special box for writing notes.
- 55% of your cost is tax-deductible.
