Planning Unit: Estill County CES
Major Program: Horticulture, Consumer and Home
Plan of Work: Marketing, Diversifying, and Managing Local Agriculture
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
There had been many calls and questions about holiday cacti and other plants, so I offered a class about holiday plants. I had two individuals attend, however, the impact on just two was very great. We went through the presentation together and they were actively asking questions. I taught them to propagate their holiday cacti, and how often they should water them. They were concerned with some of the problems they were seeing with their plants and they stayed after the class to ask additional questions. They thanked me for teaching them how to properly water and care for their plants, and they said that it would keep their generationally passed down plants thriving.
