Classes teaching the technique of planting and producing vegetables at Sky Hope Recovery Center, Pulaski County. The recovering women from addiction planted a raised bed garden under the supervision of Beth Wilson, UK Horticulture Agent for Pulaski County, and Laura Rogers, Kentucky State University Small Farm Agent. The garden's produce was harvested and weighed; then, they took the vegetables into the kitchen to add to the menu for the evening meal—increasing the confidence of the recovering individuals. 

Under supervision, the women had to learn information such as basic garden: how many seeds to drop into each garden pod; water each plant and seed holder; When to harvest the produce; How to tend to the plants; The plants are past-producing, and need to cull from the garden; How to prepare the garden for a long winter. etc.

Furthermore, Sky Hope Recovery Center classes also included succulent plants to teach root size, watering, and improve their confidence. Kentucky State University provided the plants for the ladies to brighten their rooms. 

While planting the garden boxes, One recovering addict lady looked another lady in the face, straight in the eyes, when planting the garden seed and stated. "We are alcoholics; that is why we don't know how to plant! All new to me!"
