The 2024 Scott County Garden Expo was another tremendous success. We counted 303 visitors to the Expo this year not including Master Gardeners, volunteers, Extension agents and staff, vendors and exhibitors. The room looked great and the flow of visitors was smooth. Several inquiries were made regarding becoming a Master Gardener and all vendors, exhibitors and guests seemed pleased with the event. Master Gardeners sold $782 in plants and hundreds of begonia plants were given away by Etter Lane Gardens.
Possible ideas for improvement include revisiting and increasing education displays, perhaps moving from raised beds to other topics. We need to have Home Vegetable Garden books available as well as information cards on becoming a Master Gardener.
Complete notes from the debriefing meeting are available HERE.
