The Alabama 4-H Foundation recently announced that Home Depot, in partnership with the Alabama 4-H Foundation, will sponsor a summer garden project competition for 4-H members in Lowndes County.
Garden kits are provided by Home Depot and include three vegetables, potting soil, a pair of gardening gloves, and fertilizer. Participants are responsible for procuring three 5-gallon containers for the plants.
The focus of the competition is on learning how to garden and incorporate fresh vegetables into family meals while keeping a gardening diary.
The project starts on June 24th and ends in August.
Contest prizes include a Home Depot Beginner’s Garden Kit and a $ 20 Home Depot Gift Card to be awarded to the top three.
An orientation meeting for parents and teenagers will be scheduled prior to the pick-up date to discuss the competition rules and other requirements.
Current 4-H youth members must register by June 18 to take part in the competition. Registration can be completed at https://v2.4honline.com. or by contacting LaKisha King at 334-368-1653.
