GoGardenNews - Items of gardening and ecological interest — gardening resources

The 17th annual Autumn at the Arboretum is in full swing at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. This year's theme is "A Fall Fairy Tale". Over 100,000 pumpkins, gourds and squash are on display in the Pumpkin Village. But you'd better hurry.

An article was recently submitted to me by our friends at Happy DIY Home. I think you'll enjoy reading it. It'll make you feel good about yourself as you go about your gardening chores.

I'm always looking for great ideas to enhance our learning, and I found some to share with you. The National Gardening Association offers some printable downloads for Fall Nature Scavenger Hunts. There's one for younger children, and one for older kids. They're very colorful and the illustrations make them easy to follow.

The weather is cooling, the days are shortening, and for many it's time to put the garden to bed for the winter. The steps never change, but we often forget. Thankfully, there are lots of resources available to remind us.

There's a new gardening resource I think you'll like. It's called Growit! According to the website, "GrowIt! is a mobile app community with a mission to connect, educate, and inspire folks to dig plants. We provide a space for you to ask questions, get plants identified, organize projects, and share photos of your plant babies."
