The Bourbon Extension Horticulture program continues strong support for consumer horticulture programs and information in response to direct consumer demand. Numerous education activities, including classroom style presentations as well as hands on demonstrations, were presented to over 375 local residents this year. Focus areas included areas related to local food systems and personal food production.  Over 130 individual consults were conducted to support these activities and more than 500  phone calls were directly answered on an individual basis. Common issues addressed included plant insect and disease identification, and home chemical management.
