Ashley Adair, Organic Agriculture Specialist, John Orick, Extension Master Gardener State Coordinator, and Karen Mitchell, Consumer Horticulture Specialist, provided training to equip 22 Extension educators with the skills and curriculum needed to implement four hands-on horticulture activities in their local communities. Focused on plant propagation, weed identification, and hydroponics, the training emphasized practical techniques in an interactive format. Participants gained tools to provide horticultural education, encourage sustainable practices, and inspire experiential learning in their respective counties. This training aims to enhance community outreach efforts and strengthen connections between county and campus-based extension efforts.
