Dutchess Dirt Newsletter

Celebrating over 200 issues...and growing!

Dutchess Dirt is a gardening newsletter from Cornell Cooperative Extension Dutchess County. It is filled with informative articles for the home gardener. Many of the articles are written by Master Gardener volunteers. Dutchess Dirt also has a local events calendar, alerting gardeners to plant sales, tours, classes, workshops, and similar events.

We do not share e-mail addresses with anyone else.

2025 Issues will be published quarterly beginning this April:

    Note: Mailings can be delayed due to the current environment, but typically: the spring issue is emailed out in April, the summer issue in July, the fall issue in October, and the winter issue in January.
