DMESC and GFESC Foster Grandparents were treated to training in April that was intended to improve and enhance their daily lives. Extension Agents from three different county extension offices presented workshops on container gardening--Ethan Parker from Franklin County, Dawson Bailey from Howard County, and Claire Williamson from Polk County. Agents shared how to do container gardening and the best tips for making their plants thrive. Container gardening is an easier way to help senior adults have access to fresh vegetables as well as beautiful flowers.
