| Impact Report | Gardening in the Schools The 4-H agent and the agent worked with the Mora/Colfax Head start to incorporate some gardening classes into a green house curriculum they were working on. There were 70 head start students that participated. The agents conducted a series of classes that included soil preparation, water and sun requirements, area needed to grow different fruits and vegetables, followed by hands on planting experience. The agents then went and conducted a workshop on transplanting from the in classroom green house to the outside green house. The home economist then followed up with a nutrition workshop. As a result the teachers reported that about 50% of the students took the starter plants home and proceeded to grow a garden this past summer. |
