Plant Trade Day
Author: Roger Mollette
Planning Unit: Martin County CES
Major Program: Home & Consumer Horticulture
Plan of Work: Home and Commercial Horticulture
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The Martin County Extension Service hosted the seventeenth annual “Plant Trade Day”.
The event included gardening tips and information, greenhouse tours, plant and seed swap, tree seedlings from the Kentucky Department of Forestry and free heirloom tomato plants. This year we had approximately 250 in attendance.
This activity makes if possible for the Extension Service to make many new contacts each year resulting in increased participation in other programs which will have an impact for many years.
Comments like “We never knew this service existed” and “The best kept secrete in the County” are expressed each year.
