Youth Community Garden

Author: Chanda Hall

Planning Unit: Jefferson County CES

Major Program: Natural Resources

Plan of Work: Promoting Sustainable Agriculture, Natural Resources and Urban Forestry

Outcome: Initial Outcome

In early July, thanks to a to a generous donation from Jefferson County Farm Bureau, to purchase all materials needed for raised bed gardens. With the help of a few community garden volunteers, the 4-H Teen Club and both UK and KSU Extension, we now have seven (7) raised garden beds.    Both youth and extension leaders learned how to use table saws, drills, and learned how to assemble raised garden beds.  The Extension staff had a day of bonding as they built the beds. Once the beds are filled with soil, the 4-H and Horticulture Departments will team up to offer a bi-weekly garden club for youth.
