Campbell County Extension District Board awarded Williams Creek Management to design and lead the garden renovation project at the Campbell County Extension Lakeside Commons Educational Gardens. Construction began in Fall 2023 with the installation of a retaining wall and raised beds. Extension’s focus is to create a welcoming and assessable spaces around the gardens and incorporate sustainable  best management practices. 

Extension will be demonstrating small scale vegetable and fruit growing techniques in the new raised bed area. Curious minds are welcome to engage in hands on programming offered at Campbell County Extension. Harvested produce will be utilized in cooking demonstrations lead by Extension and donated St. Bernard’s Food Pantry in Dayton, KY. 

This project is anticipated to have a total of four phases that will expand around the lake. 

Campbell County Horticulture Team has been working with the Extension District Board, Extension Renovation Committee, Campbell County Administration, City of Highland Heights, Northern Kentucky University and SD1 to best cultivate the projects needs to be sustainable for many generations to come. We encourage folks to continue to come and enjoy the spaces in our garden during renovation and watch the transition come to life. Extension is looking forward to utilizing the new spaces to offer more educational programming to our communities.
