2022 Vegetable Garden Series

Author: Carrie Spry

Planning Unit: Clark County CES

Major Program: Horticulture, Consumer and Home

Plan of Work: Horticulture, Livestock, Forages, Agriculture

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

More than 6% of Kentuckians live with limited access to a supermarket or grocery store. Combine that fact with the ever increasing cost of groceries, and more people are not only wanting to grow their own food, but some need to out of necessity. The Clark County Extension Agent for Horticulture held a 2 part class on Vegetable Gardening for Beginners to better enable and equip the counties citizens in how to grow their own food. In a survey of the attendees performed afterwards, 100% of respondents agreed that they were now better equipped with the proper knowledge on growing and maintaining a vegetable garden, and that all of the information provided was useful. One of the personal statements from an attendee was “This class was excellent! One of the best classes from extension I have ever attended.”
