UMass Horticulture Extension specialists have curated a new calendar featuring inspiring images of garden and landscape plants perfectly suited for the Northeast. Each day includes a practical, research-based home gardening tip, such as when to fertilize, how to manage pest infestations, or when to be especially tick aware.

The 2027 calendar feature, “Growing in High Organic Matter Soils,” breaks down how to construct soil with appropriate levels of organic matter and offers insights on how to properly manage soils high in organic matter.

Each month of UMass Extension's Garden Calendar features:

• One large, inspiring garden image plus information about the image
• Daily gardening tips for Northeast growing conditions
• Daily sunrise and sunset times
• Phases of the moon
• Plenty of room for notes
• Low gloss paper for easy writing

The UMass Garden calendar, a wall calendar that measures 12.5” wide x 19” long when open, is $16 per calendar and bulk pricing is available for orders of seven or more calendars. 

Shipping is free on orders of 1-2 calendars throughout the 2027 season, and shipping will be free on orders of 3-6 calendars until Nov. 8. Free pick-up and on-campus shipping is also available for orders of any number of calendars.

To order the 2027 UMass Garden Calendar, visit the UMass Extension website.

Proceeds from the calendar’s sales help support the ongoing work of horticultural Extension at the UMass Amherst.
