Pink azaleas grace the cover of the 2020 UMass Garden Calendar. For many years, UMass Extension has worked with the citizens of Massachusetts to help them make sound choices about growing and maintaining plants in their landscapes, including ornamental plants, backyard fruits and vegetables.  Our 2020 calendar continues UMass Extension's tradition of providing gardeners with practical information.

Few plants can rival the floral display of rhododendrons and azaleas. The vast array of hybrids and cultivars of these plants makes them one of the most popular choices for landscape plantings. Since attention to their cultural needs and care is important to success, the 2020 UMass Garden Calendar features info on the preferred environmental condtions and care for rhododendrons and azaleas. Also included is a list of native choices.

Our perennial wish is that you enjoy this calendar as much as we enjoy producing it, and that it is helpful in all your gardening endeavors.
