Bizzy Bee Ag Crop Garden

Author: Anthony Tackett

Major Program: Community Gardens and Horticulture Therapy

Master Gardeners continued to develop new outreach opportunities at the Bizzy Bee community gardens.  The Bizzy Bee urban gardens are located at a local adult day care and retirement center.  The original intent of this project was to act as a therapeutic garden for the residents of the center to provide additional sensory stimulation and physical activity.  The garden has been expanded each of the last several years to include different activities and plantings.  Volunteers
