A new educational garden is taking shape outside the county’s University of Tennessee Agricultural Extension building, built as part of the Master Gardeners program and featuring Firewise landscaping techniques.
“This is actually kind of two programs combined. The Master Gardeners that are in the training class right now helped design, pick out plants and build this garden, this bed,” said Adam Hopkins, UT Extension director and agent. “This will be a bed specifically demonstrating Firewise plantings, distances away from structures and what are good things to plant in such distances.”

Master Gardener
The Junior Master Gardener program is a 4-H after-school program but is not a 4-H club. The free program is for third- through 12th-grade students.
We generally meet once a week between mid- to late spring through the final harvest and garden cleanup. Our gardens reside in St. Patrick’s Church community gardens at the corner of Oak Hill Avenue and Cleveland Street in Youngstown.
This coming season begins our fourth year. In the past years we have grown tomatoes, peppers, herbs and annual flowers from plants donated to us. We direct-sow from seed some of our vegetables, such as carrots, radishes, cucumbers, beets and green beans.
