Gardening Tips and Resources from Across Iowa

by Leave a Comment

Now that the snow is finally gone it’s time to think about spring, gardening and lawn care.

Find tips and gardening resources that Patch collected from news outlets across the state below:

The Muscatine Journal has offered tips on what to look for when transplanting seedlings.

Seedlings purchased from a nursery shouldn’t be transplanted immediately into a garden, for instance. And the Des Moines Register has more on hardening plants and vegetables.

And the Gazette offers some advice for lawn treatments

One can find answers to any gardening question from Iowa State University Extension offices, reports the Quad City Times.

Find local offices at extension.iastate.edu.

One can also find help from the Iowa State University Hortline from 10 a.m. to noon or 1 to 4:40 p.m. Monday through Friday or at hortline@iastate.edu.

The Iowa State University Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic offers advice on plant disease and insect questions from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at 515-294-0581 or at sickplant@iastate.edu or insects@iastate.edu.

A little bit of New Orleans in Oak Park: Apartment gardening can be so challenging. Sadly we have almost no gardening space. Happily, we do have a small front terrace and a balcony in the back of our second story apartment perfect for my little New Orleans fix up! 

Vehicle sticker sales begin in May: Every Oak Park resident who owns or leases a vehicle is required to purchase and display a Village sticker annually by July 15. Anyone who misses the deadline must pay a $20 late fee in addition to the cost of the sticker.

Grow Your Garden, Not Your Pain: When people think of strenuous physical activity, they likely think of hitting the gym, running a few miles, playing a pickup game of their favorite sport. They likely don’t think of landscaping, planting, weeding and all other parts of the gardening world. And although gardening may be no half marathon or championship game, it can certainly take a physical toll on your body.

BHG/Gloor Realty Condo Extravaganza!: Shamar Lott Milos Kaplarevic are the winners of the April 17th Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Gloor Realty Condo Extravaganza Open House. They visited 3 of the 9 condos open. 

Broker Associates at RE/MAX in the Village, Realtors, Oak Park, Saluted for 2012 Success: Broker associates at RE/MAX in the Village, Realtors, 189 S. Oak Park Ave., Oak Park, Ill., recently received special recognition from the RE/MAX Northern Illinois region for their sales success in 2012.  They have been named to membership in one of five honorary clubs, each recognizing an important level of achievement in sales production.

2013 Des Plaines River Clean Up: We had another successful Des Plaines River Clean Up this year.  Thanks to our 60 volunteers we cleaned up 180 pounds of trash!

Oak Park Resident To Be Honored By Voices Against Brain Cancer: This year’s honorees have been chosen for their continued efforts to help raise brain cancer and brain tumor awareness – among them is Oak Park resident Dr. William Barrows. He and his wife Donna are long standing members of the suburban Illinois community. They have three adult sons. Now at age 59, Bill has practiced pediatrics in Chicago for 30 years. Bill was diagnosed with brain cancer in August, 2011.
