McDONOUGH â What do you do when spring is approaching and Master Gardeners and other Extension volunteers are sitting idle looking for something to do with their hands?
Get them all together to plant something as part of the Extension Officeâs Get Out and Grow Initiative was Frank Hancockâs answer.
Hancock, Henry Countyâs Extension agent, started making phone calls. He thought heâd get a few people together to demonstrate how a new product called Lazy Crazy Garden System works and encourage residents to grow a garden this spring and summer.
Before he knew it, the Clayton County Extension Office was pitching in money to purchase several garden systems. Clayton and Henry county representatives from the Georgia Farm Bureau also wanted to be part of the project. A call to UGA Professor of Agriculture Bodie Pennisi for seed advice got her involved, too.
