Partnership in Publications between the Nutrition Education Program and Horticultuer.
Author: Richard Durham
Planning Unit: Horticulture
Major Program: Horticulture, Consumer and Home
Outcome: Initial Outcome
In 2018 I was approached by NEP extension staff to help update existing and develop new home gardening publications for low-literacy audiences. I also enlisted our extension vegetable specialist, Rachael Rudolph, to help. We have published eight peer reviewed extension publications with three of these also translated to Spanish. These publications are being used by state and county NEP, EFNEP, and horticulture extension personnel to develop gardening and nutrition programs in Kentucky counties. This collaboration continues with plans for more publications underway.
