The confinement and stress associated with travel restrictions, familial isolation and lack of personal interactions has taken a heavy toll on Kentuckians. Gardening is widely known as a therapeutic activity and one in which your UK Extension Service excels. To help reach those in need, the Letcher Co. Office partnered with the Harlan Co. KY and Wise Co. Virginia ANR Agents to offer Zoom classes for interested clientele. Offerings included Basic Gardening, Unconventional Gardening, Growing Melons, Wildlife in Gardens, Beneficial Insects, and Garden Diseases. Classes were offered live through Zoom and were also recorded and distributed fort later use through YouTube, Facebook and on the local government channel (TV 99). Total viewership in the two-state, five-county area exceeded 90,000 viewers.
