The Boyle Co. Horticulture Agent and 4H program joined forces to offer a succulent dish garden class to elementary aged children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kids had the option of an in-person, socially distanced class or a kit with a live zoom session for instruction. Dish-garden, is a class at the KY State Fair so, this free course gave students an opportunity to not only learn about desert plants and their care, but also enter their garden into the State Fair.
- A total of 12 children attended the in-person session.
- 31 kits were made and children were taught via zoom.
- An additional 20 kits were taken to the Family Resource Center to go in the Spring Break Kits for their socially disadvantaged students.
