Geographic Horticulture Directory Updated, Traffic Dramatically Increased

Author: Joshua Knight

Planning Unit: Horticulture

Major Program: Horticulture, Commercial

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

RIGHT:  Map of Earlier Data (Shared Equipment)Though the Geographic Horticulture Directory of Kentucky has been live since mid-2018, its resources have been updated periodically to reflect changes in data availability.  With new data provided by the Kentucky Horticulture Council surveys this fall, the directory data for Shared Equipment and Community Kitchens reflects considerably more resources available for Kentucky growers.  

LEFT:  Map of Current Data (Shared Equipment)

With this update, the interactive map was promoted heavily at Extension agent training events and at presentations for growers in this period.  As a likely result, from September 2021 - December 2021 saw an uptick of 135.8% in traffic compared with the previous period last year, with most of this traffic coming in December.
