Free resources offered to Hamilton County gardeners

Are you thinking of starting a vegetable garden? Do you have concerns with your existing garden? The Hamilton County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) can help with these and other issues.

As part of its Urban Agriculture program, SWCD staff are available for free site visits to any backyard and community vegetable garden in Hamilton County. Staff can provide guidance with planning, advice on weed and pest management, soil health information, yield increase through conservation, tip sheets and much more.

To schedule a site visit, contact Andrew Fritz at andrew.fritz@hamiltoncounty.in.gov or (317) 773-2181. In addition, tip sheets and many other online resources on a number of gardening topics are available at HamiltonSWCD.org/UrbanAgriculture.
