Walter Reeves

Walter is retired from the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service, where he worked for 29 years. He grew up on a poultry farm in rural Fayette county, where he cared for the hens and an "enormous" vegetable garden. His grandmother "Bubber" raised flowers in two gardens beside the family home and taught Walter the simple pleasures of puttering around with plants..

Gardening Help

Our friend Walter Reeves has helped us create this page to direct you to answers for your gardening questions. We all hope you enjoy it and find it helpful. Happy Gardening!

Walter has a Web site at www.walterreeves.com. He says that he intends for it "to eventually contain EVERYTHING I have ever written". He suggests that you try to find your answer there first.

Walter also says "Personally, I find plantfacts.ohio-state.edu to be a fabulous site for gardening answers on the Web. Many of the questions I'm asked can be answered by simply typing the plant's name or the description of the problem in this site's Search line."

You can also sign up for Walter Reeves' free e-mail newsletter at wsbradio.com/inside/walter_reeves.html. His newsletter will contain lots of timely, seasonal information about what you need to do in your garden as well as other tips.

The University of Georgia Horticulture site is pubs.caes.uga.edu/caespubs/horticulture/Factsheet.html. Look there for factsheets on fruit plants and other specific landscape plants. If you need suggestions for plants that would do well in your situation, download "Landscape Plants for Georgia" while you're there.

If your question is about your lawn, you might visit the University of Georgia "Lawns in Georgia" publication at: www.caes.uga.edu/extension/homegarden.html.

A great way to get your questions answered is to send an email to your local Extension Office. The email addresses are as follows:
