Master Gardeners and Extension plan pollinator garden and Daffodil Project memorial at AgCenter
Summary
Troup County Extension and Master Gardener volunteers described plans for a Mulberry Street Cemetery Pollinator Garden, an Education Garden with a greenhouse, and participation in the Daffodil Project, a memorial intended to plant up to 1,000,000 bulbs.
Extension staff and Master Gardener volunteers described several horticulture projects aimed at education and public engagement. Laura told commissioners the county is "getting started with the Mulberry Street Cemetery Pollinator Garden" adjacent to Mr. King's property and outlined an Education Garden plan that will include a greenhouse, fruit trees, shrubs and a chicken coop for public programming.
Laura also described the Daffodil Project, a living memorial intended to honor children killed during the Holocaust, and said the project’s goal is to plant over 1,000,000 bulbs; she reported that 250 bulbs had already been planted at the AgCenter. Volunteers said the projects provide hands‑on learning opportunities for 4‑H youth and broader public programming. The Extension office asked commissioners for continued support of site improvements and programming partnerships.
