Carroll County Master Gardeners are excited to announce their newest sanctioned project, called Come Grow with Carroll County. This initiative is in partnership with the Loaves and Fishes Food Bank in Berryville.

The project’s intent is not only to provide fresh vegetables to the food bank but also to offer information and education on how to grow and maintain raised garden beds, aimed at educating the community on growing their own vegetables.

The Master Gardeners received a County 76 grant and donations from Loaves and Fishes, Yardsmith Ralph Smith, Hanby Lumber, Ginger Oaks, Walmart and Traveling Plants.

Carroll County Extension Agent Monty Rexwinkle, along with Master Gardeners Randy Hooten and Cynthia Osborne, constructed, filled and relocated the beds. The Master Gardeners who planted the beds include Brenda Champlin, Kathryn Harvey, Stacey Nuckolls, Monty Rexwinkle and Cynthia Osborne. The Master Gardeners will maintain the beds on an ongoing basis.

The Come Grow with Carroll County project marks the fourth Master Gardener-sanctioned project in the County. Other projects include courtyards at both the Berryville and Green Forest libraries, along with maintaining a bed at Little Lake Eureka in Eureka Springs.
