Author: James Morgeson

Planning Unit: Washington County CES

Major Program: Horticulture, Consumer and Home

Plan of Work: Increasing Agricultural Systems In Washington County

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The Horticulture How To program participants requested a class on making and taking draped containers. In this class, participants learned how to create a container using concrete and fabric. They explored the different fabrics, textures, shapes, and ways to recycle materials into useful garden art. By learning how to repurpose everyday materials into functional and decorative items, participants contributed to reducing waste and minimizing their environmental footprint. Evaluations were conducted after the program: 100% of participants said they would make more containers, 95% said this is a terrific way to save money, and 90% said they would teach their kids/grandkids how to make them.
