Gardening Program
Author: Rebecca Hayes
Planning Unit: Carter County CES
Major Program: Agriculture
Plan of Work: Horticulture
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The six session gardening program was geared toward youth to learn about gardening, how to read gardening labels and tools, as well learning to make flower arrangements, the benefits of indoor plants and use what they grew from their garden in recipes. All youth learned how to take a seed and grow it into a product. They successfully grew flowers and made floral arrangements from them as well as grow tomatoes, jalapenos, and peppers to make salsa. At every session, youth learned about a healthy snack and healthy choices that related to what was done during that session.
