Baton Rouge, La. - The Southern University
Agricultural Research and Extension Center's SNAP-Ed Growing Healthy program
recently planted container gardens at the Greater King David Baptist Church’s
Baton Rouge Center for Seniors and the Cheneyville Senior Center.
Approximately 15 senior
citizens at Cheneyville and 25 at Greater King David planted their own
container tomato plants. Participants were involved in the whole process from
filling the pots with soil, planting and fertilizing. Each participant took
their plants home and will nurture them until harvest time!
The activities were led by
SU Ag Center’s Nutrition Educators Marquetta Anderson, Kiyana Kelly and Growing
Healthy Coordinator Stephanie Elwood.
