Cooperative Extension Publications
The publications below were collected by Joseph Tolton, who volunteered at the Garden several years ago. They are all PDF files (some fairly large) that were published by the Cooperative Extension offices in various states in the Inter-mountain West. They are collected here in hopes they may prove useful to Great Basin gardeners. Enjoy . . . !
