🌱🌞 Garden & Grow is officially underway! 🌞🌱
Today, our 4-H and EFNEP crew kicked off the Garden & Grow Workshop at Cooper Rec—and what a fun start it was! Participants learned the basics of growing their own food 🌽🍅 and even got hands-on with turning fresh ingredients into tasty recipes.
But the fun didn’t stop there… everyone got creative making their very own plant people! 🪴💚
Now we need YOUR help—👇
✨ Vote in the comments for your favorite plant person! ✨
🌼 Don’t miss out! Our next Garden & Grow is scheduled for June 16th, and it’s FREE!
📞 Contact our office for registration information.
We can’t wait to see these gardens (and skills!) grow this summer! 🌻🌿
