NC State University Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Garey Fox, visited West Smithfield Elementary for a tour of the school’s newly renovated vegetable and flower garden. The special stop at the school was part of Mr. Fox’s statewide visit to all 101 Extension Centers across North Carolina. 🍅🌼
The West Smithfield Elementary garden renovation was made possible through the $3500 Ag Carolina Grant received and shared by NC Cooperative Extension Agent, 4-H Youth Development, Meredith Wood, and NC Cooperative Extension Agent, Agriculture, Nicole Youngblood. With the funds, the school replaced the previous garden with an entirely new space, complete with 12 garden boxes, decorative seating, an underground irrigation system, and a protective fence. Also, the entrance of the garden features a beautiful sign that reads, “Growing Eagles Garden”, in honor of the school’s mascot.
