The expo was set up with two tracks of four possible workshops. Participants in the home economics track attended classes regarding nutrition, food preparation using home grown garden products, preserving garden products and floral arranging. The purposes of the expo were to provide educational and hands on training experiences which would enable participants to make better use of their garden products, with the ultimate goal of saving money through wise resource management. Over 58 individuals attended. End of program evaluations indicated that participants felt they had learned some valuable skills which would assist them specifically in the areas of food preservation and making the most of their garden products. All attending the hands on demonstrations (cooking/floral arranging) indicated they would practice skills gained through the experience in their homes. |
