A local distillery contacted the Horticulture Agent for help after the distillery’s horticulturist had taken a new position at the height of the growing season. The staff needed immediate direction on how to maintain the innovative raised bed vegetable garden that was located near the tour entrance. The horticulture agent made bimonthly visits to teach the staff about integrated pest management, insect and disease identification and control, crop rotation, soil testing, and to give general direction about what they should be doing to maintain the garden.
The staff at the distillery were very pleased and relieved to have Extension be there when the needed immediate help. Some quotes from them “Thank you so much for coming and teaching us how to be better gardeners” “I am so happy to not only have you to call and text about problems we have here at work, but it is even better to know you are here for homeowners as well”.
