Success StoryDesert Dish Gardens
Desert Dish Gardens
Author: Dianna Reed
Planning Unit: Johnson County CES
Major Program: Natural Resources
Plan of Work: Youth Life Skills
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The Johnson County Extension Council and 4-H Program Council indicated that providing learning and developmental opportunities through youth programs are an important part of the Plan Of Work. To fulfill this need, the Johnson County 4-H Agent worked with local school personnel to schedule afterschool programming for 7th – 12th graders through the Eagle 4-H Enrichment Program. In this program, participants meet at Johnson Central High School and learn various life skills. Participants have completed and gained skills in Health, Natural Resources and Arts. Handwashing lesson activities began the year, followed by designing and creating individual desert dish gardens and we are currently practicing woodburning skills in the arts portion of the program. There are usually 10-15 participants each week and they have completed some amazing creations! This program will continue through the end of the 2021-2022 school year. We are excited to see additional skill-building efforts!
