Getting off to a great start!
Scott Christian Care Center’s Grow Appalachia program is off and running! Our program serves Scott County, TN and McCreary County, KY, and we have had a tremendous response from both counties this year. It looks like we will have a total of 84 gardeners in our program. Our first participant meeting was on February 9th, where we introduced the gardeners our Grow Appalachia team, and offered a class on basic gardening. It was a full house!
Each of our gardeners received a participant binder, full of helpful gardening information.
Some of the topics covered in the basic gardening class was:
. Frost dates/ plant hardiness zones
. Purchasing seeds/seed starting
. Garden Planning
. Fertilizers/Composting
84 participants! WOW.
