Garden to Go Packets

Author: Chuck Flowers

Planning Unit: Carlisle County CES

Major Program: Horticulture, Consumer and Home

Plan of Work: Crop and Livestock Production, Gardening and Horticulture, and Local Food Systems

Outcome: Initial Outcome

In order to stay in contact with clients the Ag and FCS agents decided to offer Garden to Go Packets. This allowed clients to come back in the office after being out so long due to Covid. In the packets they were provided ID-128 publication on gardening techniques, variety, disease and other practices for gardens.  Clients were given Plate It Up recipes.  Each packet contained Healthy Choices information, coloring and Healthy Eating for kid’s books, a gardening calendar, plus all types of information on peppers, green beans and other vegetables.  A packet of radish and turnip seed was included. In addition to all that each client got a JetStar tomato plant, and the choice of a Banana or Bell pepper plant. We were able to give over 65 packets out to clients in all.  All clients bragged on the packets and plants.
