We are always looking for opportunities to spread the great news of Illinois 4-H. Thanks to the generosity of the Illinois 4-H Foundation, we were able to “grow” our 4-H program.

Nearly 250 youth in Marshall received materials to create window greenhouses at the Marshall Area Youth Network Summer Camp lunch drive-through. The local Illinois Extension office provided instructions and a short how-to video on social media.

These window greenhouses allow youth to watch the seed germinate and record their observations on the datasheet. Families were encouraged to share photos on social media using the hashtag #gardenstemclark4H.
