Here in Wake County, we have about 150 talented volunteers, some of whom created a group of writers that work together to create new, local horticulture publications for the residents of Wake County. These local publications pull information from various NC State resources and are edited by the Wake County Horticulture Agent for approval to publish. Below you will find links to our original works, some of which are our most popular handouts!
