We conduct soil testing for homeowners, gardeners, farmers and landowners!

A soil test can tell you if your lawn or garden needs critical nutrients and how much. This way, your plants and your wallet will stay healthy. You won’t waste your money applying fertilizer or lime that your plants don’t need.

Your county's Extension office can help you with this process! Soil samples cost $10 per box. Learn more about submitting a soil sample here: https://ow.ly/GvV150XT7pB

The plant we know as “poinsettia” is native to Mexico in the southern region known as Taxco del Alarcon. It was introduced in 1828 by the first U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Joel Poinsett.

Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is the traditional flower associated with Christmas and the top-selling flowering potted plant in the United States. The brightly colored parts of the plant (called bracts) are actually modified leaves.

The true flowers are the yellow bead-like structures in the center of the poinsettia (called cyathia). Poinsettias range from the traditional red to pink, white, peach, and bicolor.
