Success StoryFairy Garden Program



Fairy Garden Program

Author: Mary Dossett

Planning Unit: McCracken County CES

Major Program: Community Gardens and Horticulture Therapy

Plan of Work: McCracken County Horticulture Education Outreach

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome


Mrs. Vincent is a homemaker and active volunteer with our Extension Office. She attended my Fairy Garden Program in April 2025. After the program she was so overjoyed with meeting new people and learning the new skill, she reached out to the 4-H staff support. She wanted to pass along her praise for the fun program and offer the program to the youth in the community. After talking with the other 4-H agents, she was able to secure a date and time for a 4-H version of my fairy garden program. The gardens that these kids create will also be able to be entered into the county fair and hopefully go on to the state fair! This is a huge honor for someone to enjoy your program so much that they want to pass along the skill to the youth. I am excited to hear the outcome of the program and the success the program will be. The kids will be able to meet others and learn more about gardening and how to take care of their plants. Pictured below is Mrs. Vincent and her fairy garden. The 4-H program is scheduled for May 31 at our Extension Office.
