2024 Calendar Bc Canada
Get It Growing calendar prepares gardeners for 2024, and the photos are pretty, too
Garden enthusiasts, there’s a calendar for you.
The 2024 LSU Agriculture Center Get It Growing Lawn and Garden calendar will again offer lots of horticulture information, gardening tips and beautiful pictures.
Since 2005, the calendar has been packed with dozens of gorgeous photos of Louisiana gardens and landscapes that will add beauty to your favorite wall.
The recently released calendar features images of a variety of flowers, trees and other flora captured by photographers from across the state.
“The LSU AgCenter 2024 Get It Growing Calendar has arrived. Like previous calendars, it is filled with useful information for serious and beginning gardeners,” said Elma Sue McCallum of LSU AgCenter Communications, who serves as the calendar’s coordinator. “Louisiana gardeners have come to rely on the monthly gardening tips and educational features in the calendar. It highlights beautiful photographs of flowers, gardens and other plants by Louisiana photographers.”
You’ll get monthly tips that will inform the longtime gardener as well as the beginner. It also includes a special section on sustainable landscapes with advice from myself, the LSU AgCenter statewide consumer horticulturist and the representative of the AgCenter Get It Growing campaign.
Each calendar contains a list of Louisiana Super Plants, which highlights tough and pretty plants that perform well in Louisiana landscapes. It also includes helpful information for projects, including when to plant caladium tubers and mulch trees.
In addition to monthly gardening tips, the full-color, 32-page, 9-by-12-inch calendar includes a guide to landscape conservation.
The calendar’s value increases immensely with the inclusion of a list of AgCenter lawn and garden publications, gardening terms and definitions and information on the LSU AgCenter Master Gardener Program, the AgCenter Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic and the AgCenter Soil Testing and Plant Analysis Lab.
Photographs for the calendar are chosen each year through a public call for entries. The 2024 calendar winners include Nanette Baldwin, of Gonzales; Michael Bennett, of Shreveport; Caleb Boulet, of Scott; Abbie Bourgeois, of Schriever; Anne Donnarumma, of Baton Rouge; Jared Doyle, of Natchitoches; James Greer, of Tioga; Terryl Hicks, of Franklinton; Claudia Husseneder, of St. Gabriel; Kami Hymel, of Paulina; Amy Kinzie, of New Orleans; Raakhee Malani, of Prairieville; Suzanne McFatter, of Lake Charles; Jamie Newman, of Baton Rouge; Yvette Peevy, of New Orleans; Anna Taylor Poe, of Natchitoches; Conchita Richey, of Gonzales; Rhoda Stevenson, of Campti; Michael Sutton, of Mandeville; Claire Sylvest, of Sulphur; Lisa Tortorich, of Nine Mile Point; J.C. Webb, of Crowley; and Emily Wolf, of Lafayette.
The Get It Growing calendar sells for $13.95 and is available for online orders at www.LSUAgCenter.com/OnlineStore. Sample photos and more information are available on the website.
The calendar is created as part of the AgCenter’s Get It Growing educational campaign for home lawns and gardens. You can also find it at garden centers across Louisiana.
