Author: Stephen Lewis
Planning Unit: Jefferson County CES
Major Program: Master Gardener
Plan of Work: Promoting Sustainable Agriculture, Natural Resources and Urban Forestry
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The Jefferson County Master Gardener program had to suspend in person classes due to Covid-19 pandemic after only its first class. However, it was reconvened in the October, with a new virtual format. All classes were presented on Zoom and for the first time students were able to receive University level education from the comfort of their homes. Classes were twice a week for 7 weeks and contained presentations on topics from the Kentucky Master Gardener Manual. There were 25 participants who completed the course and exam and now they begin the volunteer phase of their certification. Challenges present themself due to some restrictions on gatherings, but master gardener interns are finding creative ways to engage their community and continue their education.
