University of Nevada, Reno Extension

Our Story

Grow Your Own, Nevada! is a state-wide University of Nevada Reno Extension program designed to help people all around the state discover the secrets to gardening in our high-desert climate through eight classes, delivered weekly in the spring and fall.

Program participants will learn basic horticultural principles that apply to growing all kinds of plants, tried and true methods from a variety of experienced gardeners and about new and alternative methods developed for growing on a small scale.

Through this program, Extension seeks to meet Nevada’s demands for more homeowner information on basic horticultural practices and to alleviate concerns about food safety and self-sufficiency. The program also feeds off of the desire to buy and eat local, an important movement for Nevadans residing in food deserts.
