Healthy Texas Recognized School Application

Healthy Texas Recognized School Guidelines

We had 13 schools come to our Fall 2020 Plant Pick Up that occurred on September 19th at the Extension Office. Thank you to everyone who came by to pick up plants and supplies!

Each school received assorted plants including cabbage, squash, cauliflower, kale, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, basil, and marigolds. They also received assorted vegetable/herb seeds, pollinator seeds, spray nozzles, and JMG and LGEG demo craft lessons. A special thank you to Master Gardener volunteers Helen Kent, Rosemary Lambert, and Stephanie Shropshire for their help building boxes and passing out supplies.

Here is the Fillable PDF – Group Enrollment Form for you to complete for the 2020-2021 school year. You will need to have this filled out in order to receive support for your youth garden. Please email it to me, or drop it in the Google Form: Group Enrollment Form Submission via Google Forms
