The problem – Access to quality seed potatoes for growing at low or no cost.

The educational program response was to learn about how to grow potatoes from new gardeners that have never grown potatoes and it allowed new gardeners to try growing potatoes for the first time.  This giveaway encouraged first time gardeners to try growing their own food with very little cost to themselves since the potatoes were given to them. 

The participants/target audience community gardeners and first-time gardeners. 

Other partners (if applicable) Indiana Purdue Extension – they provided the free potatoes. 

Program impact or participant response.  Amazing response and over 300 lbs of potatoes were given away to plant in local gardens.  Gardeners were so thankful to have access to quality seed potatoes at no cost.
