After doing a few hands on Horticulture videos at the beginning of the pandemic it was determined through online evaluations that clientele wanted more hands on or how to videos on various horticultural topics. This need grew into an ongoing video program called Horticulture How To. Several videos have been made since and uploaded to the Washington County Horticulture You Tube Channel and the Washington County Facebook Page all linked to the Washington County Extension Website. Thus far Horticulture How To videos include Seed Germination Tests, Putting Together an Economical Grow Light Set, Tips For Starting Seeds Indoors, and How To Transplant Seedlings. To date the videos have had over 1200 views by gardeners and potential gardeners alike.
Some of the early feedback of the new serious includes "Wow, thank you for showing me how to put together and inexpensive grow light system. You have saved me at least $500!" "I had no idea it was that easy to do a germination test on my old seeds! Looks like I don't need to buy new ones after all." and "Keep up the good work I have been sharing your videos with my friends in other states and they are amazed at what Extension does in Kentucky".
