Outcome: Initial Outcome
In order to supply affordable plants to the community, the Capital Area Extension Master Gardeners have held an annual plant sale for over 12 years. The Covid-19 pandemic has lead to an explosion of homeowners that started gardening that made this effort especially important. This sale not only provides county residents access to affordable plants, but also raises funds for their outreach activities and two academic scholarships for students studying horticulture degrees.
The Capital Area Extension Master Gardeners worked closely with the Franklin Co Extension staff to successfully organize the plant market online to create a contact-free method of getting plants during a time when there was a uncertaintiy about the food supply and a great renewed interest in gardening. The Association was able to sell over a 1,500 plants and generated over $1,900 net revenue.
