For many years now, the 4-H program has been helping maintain some of the plant and flower beds at the Whiteside County Fairgrounds through the spring and summer. A county-wide 4-H crew got together Saturday to start work on them for this year. We got a lot of help from Whiteside County businesses, too, and greatly appreciate their donations in support of our efforts. A big THANK YOU to Spangler’s Landscaping and Garden Center; Sullivan’s Foods; Selmi’s Greenhouse; and Tractor Supply Company!

What does it really take to go from seed to a fully-grown plant? In Sprout Scouts, we will focus on soil, crops, weeds, insects, diseases and more, fostering the best outcomes for plants. We will also involve drone usage and discuss career exploration. Enrollment in Plants & Soils or Agronomy projects not required. Meets at the Ogle County Farm Bureau. Open to ages 8-18.
