Welcome to Extension Gardener on the Crystal Coast newsletter written by Master Gardener℠ volunteers in Carteret County. With each issue, our goal is to help you as a gardener learn a few new things about gardening in Carteret County so we'll focus on a plant that does well in our climate, an article on fruits, vegetables or herbs, one about a pest problem in the landscape or garden and an article about a project or activity in the garden. If you'd you like to receive the newsletter via email each month or have a topic that you'd like us to write about, please send an email to Shawn Banks County Extension Director and Horticulture Agent. Below is a compilation of the articles with more being added.
