Major Program: Home & Consumer Horticulture
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The horticulture agent was asked by the State Homemaker President to present a gardening class at the state meeting after she had attended one of his gardening classes. With some discussion with several homemakers it was determined that the most popular topic was succulents. The popularity of the succulent class surpassed what the room would hold so the registration was closed weeks before the class at 50 people. The morning of the class it was standing room only with over 60 people squeezing into the room at 8:00 AM. The class consisted of variety selection, hardy/non-hardy, culture, insect and disease control, and a hands on demo of putting together the perfect succulent container garden. After the class numerous people commented on how great the class was and asked if they could come to Washington County for more classes, and several asked for the power point be sent to their local Horticulture or Agriculture Agents so they might present it as well.
