Success Story4-H Member to Community Service



4-H Member to Community Service

Author: Joyce Doyle

Planning Unit: Carroll County CES

Major Program: Leadership

Plan of Work: Adult and Youth Leadership

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Since  the community is aware of the 4-H Garden Club, we have been asked many questions of how to have a successful garden.  The public library director called me and asked if the garden club would come and clean out their raised beds that they wanted to plant a salsa garden.  I met with my garden club and since it was at the end of the school year (the busiest time of the year) only one member stepped up to the plate.  He went to the public library and cleaned out their beds and explained to the director what they needed to purchase to make the beds produce more effectively.

Here he is weeding one of their 3 beds, getting them ready to plant.

The raised beds here at the Extension office needed planting and  who stepped up to the plate, the same garden member.  He absolutely loves gardening.

As I passed by the 4-H garden going  home, look who I saw (just him and his mother who  brought him) working on the 4-H garden.

He was asked to do a fundraiser for the WHAS Crusade on Memorial Day.  Not only did he do the fundraiser, he attended the Memorial Day week end dressed in his patriotic outfit.

What a caring ten year old.  He loves the 4-H program.  He entered 32 project items in the Carroll County Fair and 10 of his projects received  Champion and will be at the Kentucky State Fair.
