Gardener's Toolbox goes Virtual

Author: Jamie Dockery

Planning Unit: Fayette County CES

Major Program: Horticulture, Consumer and Home

Plan of Work: Making healthy Lifestyle Choices and Citizen Education

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Recent COVID related events left many people working from home. The increased time at home and social distancing measures created a new surge of interest in home vegetable gardening and food preservation. In an effort to deliver our information to people in a home setting we had to shift to video classes via Youtube. The horticulture agent and technician began filming entire classes for our Gardener's Toolbox series.  

In the past year our Toolbox class videos have reached over 2808  with detailed training about specific plants and problems.  We now reach  many younger people who could not find time to attend in person and have brought on many clients new to Cooperative Extension.
