The Nutrition Education Program has been pairing nutrition education with gardening education in the recovery center setting for the last 3.5 years. In 2020, efforts were moved beyond a pilot program and expanded to include 8 programmatic counties and the development of the Recovery Garden Toolkit. This toolkit is being created in partnership with Family and Consumer Science Extension, Horticulture Extension and Community and Leadership Development. The toolkit team consists of Specialists, Agents and Assistants. In June 2021, the team received grant funding from both the Kentucky Department of Agriculture ($56,000) and Southern Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SSARE) (~$3,000) to continue the toolkit development and training, as well as expand the programming into 12 more counties. These grant funds will also cover the cost of a part-time position to help carry out these efforts.
