A gardening class series was conducted at the Hopkins County Extension Office and focused on growing different kinds of herbs: Sage, Mint, Lavender, Basil, Oregano, Thyme, Cilantro, Parsley, Chives, Rosemary, Fennel, and Dill.  In each class, students learned how to grow, care for, and manage the different kinds of herbs.  In addition, the classes also mentioned different varieties of each herb, culinary, medicinal, and cosmetic uses.  At the end of each class, there was also a hands-on activity about herb propagation from growing cuttings to planting seeds.  A survey was conducted at the end of each class.  Based on the survey results, 98% of the participants stated that they are or may be interesting in taking what they learned from the classes and apply it to their own lives, and 95% of the participants increased their knowledge of herbs from taking the classes.  Finally, 100% of the participants were interested in attending more gardening classes and workshops at the extension office in the future.
