Author: Kara Back-Campbell
Planning Unit: Taylor County CES
Major Program: Horticulture, Consumer and Home
Plan of Work: Commercial and Homeowner Horticulture Education
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The horticulture agent presented another Zoom webinar this spring on how to build a wicking garden bed. It utilized a new publication on the steps to construct it. Master gardeners worked together with the agent to build it. The horticulture agent presented the building process to 169 individuals watching via Zoom through the Horticulture webinar series. Lastly a class was taught in partnership with the local library on the building of the bed and also on proper planting. The use of a hybrid in-person and Zoom teaching method resulted in maximizing the amount of people outreach through this program. Thus meeting the needs of individuals during COVID-19 restrictions.
