Several of our horticulture programs are full and we have received complaints on how to address this issue. The horticulture agent came up with a fun program to encourage community members to plant flowers and learn more about the Extension Office. On April 29th, the horticulture agent hosted a Derby Planting Party. the agent encouraged participants to wear derby hats and bring their friends! There was light refreshments and mocktails to make the event memorable. the horticulture agent had a speaker talk on a gardening topic and then the participants planted flowers. The outcome is initial but maybe this can be a yearly event that community members can look forward to for years to come.
