It’s been a busy year for SHED and we’d like YOU to add your voice in support of horticultural education!

We’ve waived our already low membership fee for the remainder of this year to encourage everyone interested in gardening, growing food and creating a beautiful, more sustainable environment locally to become a SHED member and help us expand our outreach.

Even as the days grow shorter, there is still a lot of gardening we can do here in Pueblo. Planting cool season veggies, like lettuce and spinach, mulching the flower beds to get they ready for winter and starting a compost pile with the leaves that are starting to fall.

You can learn about all this and more through the resources SHED offers its members. Benefits include:

• Access to all the resources of the CSU Extension office at Pueblo, including on-line and video classes and educational programs;

• Opportunities to get site- specific advice from Master Gardeners

• Notifications of upcoming events of interest that are horticulture related
• An online subscription to the quarterly “From The Ground Up” Newsletter, containing seasonally-relevant articles on landscaping, plant care and growing tips.

Become a member today by clicking on the Membership Form, and thanks for visiting!
