The Successful Gardener Guide: North Carolina

Eleven years ago, Leah Chester-Davis founded Extention's Successful Gardener, a newsletter published by the North Carolina Cooperative Extention to address the high demand for gardening information across the state. Toby Bost, extention agent and acclaimed garden-book author, joined her team. Together, they worked with horticulture experts statewide to deliver a top-quality gardening publication to North Carolinians. The newsletter has won numerous awards throughout the years, including the Garden Writers Association Award.
