Success Story4-H Horticulture County Fair Workshops



4-H Horticulture County Fair Workshops

Author: Kara Back-Campbell

Planning Unit: Taylor County CES

Major Program: Agriculture

Plan of Work: Commercial and Homeowner Horticulture Education

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Last year county fair entries were low for 4-H due to the lack of a 4-H agent and the ability for students to participate in 4-H school clubs due to COVID-19. This year the Horticulture agent worked with the 4-H agent to plan a month long horticulture county fair project day each Tuesday to create entries. The projects consist of terrariums, annual containers, dish gardens, herb gardens, window boxes, leaf collections, and houseplants. Taylor County Master Gardeners have been a vital component to the success of these workshops. The ideas, knowledge, and assistance they provide are very much appreciated! The classes have been well attended with a 89% increase in county fair project day workshops in comparison to last year. Total county fair projects submitted because of these workdays are 19 entries. This program is the catalyst to kick-start the Taylor County 4-H Horticulture Special Interest Group that will meet each month on the 2nd Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. Next year, the Horticulture Project Day for the county fair will be a one day event on the 8th of May.
