Gardening Education with Food Hero * *

Please join the Washington County Master Gardener Association and LeAnn Locher, OSU Extension Statewide Master Gardener Outreach Coordinator, to learn more about the innovative social marketing campaign of OSU Extension and OSU's SNAP-Ed program, which brings free seeds, gardening guides and tips, grow calendars, and more to thousands of Oregonians.

LeAnn serves as a bridge between OSU Extension Communications, the Master Gardener program, and Food Hero teams. At this presentation, you'll learn how Food Hero is aligned as a partner for the Master Gardener program to encourage low-income Oregonians to improve their health by increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, including gardening education and growing their own food.

Food Hero is an initiative of SNAP-Ed (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education) developed by OSU Extension, the Oregon Department of Human Services, and the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. We hope you will be inspired to connect to Food Hero in your community.
