Baton Rouge, LA - The SU Ag Center held a
Community Garden Workshop today, November 4, 2013 from 10 am – 3 pm in A. Williams Hall. The workshop
featured fall vegetables suitable for Louisiana weather, in the yard or in
containers. Topics of discussion and related hands-on activities centered on community,
school, and container gardens.
The training culminated in potting fall vegetable by participants who then took their seedlings home to grow and nurture for healthy eating. This event, like many others, is geared towards reducing food deserts, encouraging physical activities, and healthy living.
Stephanie M. Elwood, Extension Associate for Community
Gardens; Mila Berhane, Senior Research Associate; and Tiffany Franklin,
Extension Associate organized the event.
To get help starting a garden at home, school or community,
