Success StoryMaster Gardener Graduate Continuing Education



Master Gardener Graduate Continuing Education

Author: Mary Dossett

Planning Unit: McCracken County CES

Major Program: Master Gardener

Plan of Work: McCracken County Horticulture Education Outreach

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

During Fall 2022, The horticulture agent taught the Master Gardener training to willing participants. Mrs. Hines, who completed the training, reached out to the Horticulture Agent about volunteer hour requirements. Th agent told her of possible ways to earn her hours. Mrs. Hines then informed the agent how the training class encouraged her to start up a community garden at the a local high school in town. Her daughter had attended the high school. She is also involved in a garden club in town and they will be constructing and tending to the raised beds. The high school is in a low income area and they do not currently offer horticulture related classes to the students. This will be a great avenue for nearby residents and students to obtain fresh produce and gain an interest in gardening. The horticulture agent told Mrs. Hines to let her know when they start planting and constructing the beds so the agent can help in any way needed. This will be a long-term outcome for local residents and students.
