Gardens To Go

If you are limited in your ability to garden due to space or experience, a Garden to Go is the perfect step into gardening. This program provides free container gardening supplies to Berkeley and Jefferson County residents.

Container gardens will include recycled, sanitized containers. Each container will already be filled with soil and one starter plant - lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, summer squash, or green beans. If your family is selected you will receive 3-4 containers, as well as educational materials to help your garden succeed and recipes to help you enjoy your harvest.

Part of the National Cooperative Extension System

All universities engage in research and teaching, but the nation’s more than 100 land-grant colleges and universities including WVU, have another critical mission: Extension. Extension means reaching out, and along with teaching and research land-grant institutions extend their resources, solving public needs with college or university resources through local programs. With more than 3,000 county offices in the USA, the National Cooperative Extension System is the local front door for many citizens to their state land-grant institutions.
