Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
People who never thought they could garden will benefit from this presentation by gaining knowledge on how they can garden in small spaces. A great way for older generation to connect with the younger through gardening . And passing down the satisfaction that can come from growing your own vegetables just like generations before you.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Three generations of families cam to learn about this type of gardening. The family owners of the local greenhouse expressed interest in using this process to start a community garden, and the Ag teacher from local high school thought this may be a good way for students to grow vegetables year round for use in the school cafeteria.
