Jeff Smeenk (Director, Palmer Soil and Water Conservation District) will mentor each program registrant in successful potato gardening.

Registrants will manage and care for their plots during the growing season with instructional hands-on gardening sessions provided by Jeff at important stages of plant care and growth. Each registrant will have a designated 10’ x 10’ plot that will yield an anticipated 60+ pounds of potatoes at harvest.
