DeWitt and Piatt County organizations are teaming up to teach youth about gardening.
Led by the Farmer City Library, the 'Little Roots' gardening program will engage organizations in DeWitt and Piatt County to teach kids about gardening. Director of the Farmer City Library, Amy Johnson says the program will center around Earth Day in April.
According to Johnson, the whole family is invited to participate and then take care of them during the growing season. She feels it will change the look of the front of their library.
DeWitt County 4-H was instrumental in bringing the program to the library. For anyone that may not have the ability to garden at home, Johnson feels it would be ideal for them.
Johnson says area residents should be soon receiving informational materials if they have not already. You can contact the Farmer City Library for more information by calling 309-928-9532 or by emailing farmercitypubliclibrary@gmail.com.
You can also get information by calling the University of Illinois Extension office in DeWitt County at 217-935-5764 or in Piatt County at 217-762-2191.
