Learn Grow Eat Go
Author: Lorin Fawns
Planning Unit: Mason County CES
Major Program: Horticulture, Consumer and Home
Plan of Work: Horticulture
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Mason, Meade, and Fayette Counties collaborated on a virtual Learn Grow Eat Go program. 4-H agents and Horticulture agents were involved in the planning and teaching of the program. This was a 10-week program that met via ZOOM each Thursday and had supplemental items to go along with the virtual lesson. Youth learned about gardening and got a vast variety of seeds, containers to plant in, craft supplies, and publications/recipes to go with each lesson. The lessons were interactive and we made powerpoints and showed read-aloud books online for lesson material. We surveyed youth and had 22 participants which indicated they were not familiar with either container gardening or gardening outside. From this program, youth learned valuable gardening skills, a few new recipes, how to problem solve and critical thinking skills, and met new 4-H'ers from across the commonwealth. Each child grew their own garden from the supplies and knowledge they pertained during the program.
