Great Gardening Resources: UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES

Here in California we have an amazing resource that I want to make sure you know about! It is known here as ANR or the Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources and is comprised of a statewide network of University of California researchers and educators dedicated to the creation, development and application of knowledge in agricultural, natural and human resources. In other words, they do the research and all you have to do is take advantage of it!

They provide a wealth of information for our farmers, but also our home gardeners. You have got to check some of this out! The books they sell can't be beat, plus they offer a ton of free resources you simply must read!
