Horticulture Tips
Welcome to your resource for educational and informational horticulture materials. This website was developed by the City of Springfield Parks Department to provide citizens with a valuable educational tool. Since this content was created some years ago, it is important to double check that the information is still up to date - for example, we no longer recommend planting Ash trees due to the invasive Emerald Ash Borer.
This site contains links to answer your everyday gardening questions from tree care to lawn care. Those of you who are interested in taking your horticultural knowledge to others we have provided training manual that can be used for educational purposes.
We hope that this website will help you in making your urban landscape a more aesthetic and healthier environment.
