Growing Health teaches the basics of home gardening, highlights the health benefits of seasonal produce, and shows participants how to prepare healthy, delicious recipes using what they grow through a fun, hands-on experience.

No yard? No problem. Participants will learn how to grow healthy food at any scale, from in-ground gardens to raised beds to containers.

Offered year-round to align with seasonal growing cycles, Growing Health helps participants make the most of fresh, homegrown produce in every season.

🤝 This program is supported by a grant from the Clemson Extension Rural Health and Nutrition Growing Health Program.

South Carolinians of all experience levels are invited to join Clemson Extension Horticulture and Rural Health & Nutrition Agents for a hands-on, in-person class on growing greens (with an emphasis on collards).
