On February 3rd, a program was held at the Hopkins County Extension Office referred to as Seminars and Swaps. Three back-to-back seminars were held during the morning hours that covered Orchids, Bromeliads, and Aroid Plants. The classes were free and open to the public to learn about the different plants and their care and maintenance. After the classes, a houseplant swap was also held for the public to bring indoor plants and cuttings to share with one another. Master Gardener volunteers were available that day to assist with identification and care tips of the plants at the swap. Over 50 people attended the seminars and houseplant swap. A survey was handed out to the people in attendance at class registration. Of the people who completed the survey, 100% of them expressed that they increased their knowledge of gardening subjects after taking the class. 100% of those surveyed expressed that they are or may be interested in taking what they’ve learned from the class and applying it to their life in the future. Finally, 100% of them said that they would plan on attending the future gardening classes at the extension office.
