Mini Garden Project

REGISTRATION REQUIRED:
If your family plans to participate and wants plants and seeds that the Master Gardeners provide, you must sign up by contacting Holly Jordan at holly_jordan@ncsu.edu or call 828-255-5522 by Friday, May 24th.

This is an opportunity to “dig in” and have fun with your own vegetable garden while learning through input provided by Extension Master Gardeners. The Master Gardeners will visit your garden during the summer and provide you with information and suggestions for helping you grow a successful home vegetable garden! This opportunity is open to ANY of our 4-H families. We welcome a variety of gardens: ground gardens, raised gardens, container gardens, and more.

Otherwise, you can participate in the project, but you will need to provide your own plants. Whether you provide your own plants or the Master Gardeners provide them for you, please sign up so that we can ensure that we visit your garden and include you in any updates later on.
