Making a Difference in Our County

We're working hard for the citizens we serve even through a pandemic. Here are some examples of successful projects from the past year:

In 2024, Rockdale Extension received $145,000 in USDA funding for the expansion of an educational garden at Wheeler Park. The project will build on successes with pollinator education and produce donations through ongoing collaboration with the Master Gardeners Extension Volunteers. Garden programming will connect citizens with where their food comes from and empower many to garden at home.

Rockdale Eats A Rainbow reached 100+ weekly attendees, and 4-H saw a 300% increase in youth at 4th-6th grade District Project Achievement. These programs, as well as new successes like the 4-H engineering club and cooking club, will be repeated in 2025.
