Garden and Flowers to Go

Author: Chuck Flowers

Planning Unit: Carlisle County CES

Major Program: Horticulture, Consumer and Home

Plan of Work: Crop and Livestock Production, Gardening and Horticulture, and Local Food Systems

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

 In order to stay in contact with clients during Covid in 2021 the Ag and FCS agents decided to offer Garden to Go Packets. This allowed clients to come back in the office after being out so long due to Covid.  We continued in 2022 with the packets since they were such a hit.  In the packets, clients were provided ID-128 publication on gardening techniques, variety, disease and other practices for gardens.  Clients were given Plate It Up recipes.  Each packet contained Healthy Choices information, coloring and Healthy Eating for kid’s books, a gardening calendar, plus all types of information on peppers, green beans and other vegetables.  In addition to all that, each client got a tomato plant, and a Bell pepper plant. We were able to give 90 packets out to clients in all.  This year we were able to collaborate with our local FFA chapter and they brought free flowers for clients to take also.   All our clients bragged on the packets and plants.
