This program is funded by the County of Maui Department of Agriculture and is a partnership between UH CTAHR, Molokai Cooperative Extension Service and the County of Maui Department of Agriculture. The program focuses on skill building and hands-on learning! Skills will include propagation from seed, transplanting, irrigation, weeding and maintenance, proper garden tool use, and post-harvest handling while learning gardening styles which include in-ground, raised beds or wicking beds.
