In the summer and fall of 2019, a gardening class series was conducted at the Hopkins County Extension Office.  Based on high public demand from survey results, the gardening series focused on growing different kinds of herbs.  The series was split into four classes (one class per month) and discussed three herbs per class for a total in depth study of twelve herbs.  The herbs discussed were the following: Sage, Mint, Lavender, Basil, Oregano, Thyme, Cilantro, Parsley, Chives, Marjoram, Savory, and Dill.   In each class, students learned about how to grow, care for, and manage the different kinds of herbs.  In addition, the classes also mentioned different varieties of each herb, culinary, medicinal, and cosmetic uses.  At the end of each class, there was also a hands-on activity about herb propagation from growing cuttings to planting seeds.  A survey was conducted at the end of each class.   Based on the survey results, 89% of the participants stated that they would take what they learned from the classes and apply it to their own lives, and 93% of the participants increased their knowledge of herbs from taking the classes.  Finally 96% of the participants were interested in attending more gardening classes and workshops at the extension office in the future.
