The White County 4-H G.I.F.T. Garden was buzzing Wednesday evening with everyone pulling weeds and shoveling compost into the raised beds. Compost bins were also built and a greenhouse was constructed, which First Bank of Carmi graciously donated. Amy McCarty, Extension Program Coordinator, would like to thank First Bank employees, 4-H members, parents and leaders, Mike Knight, Dale Peach, and Clayton Nelson for getting the garden ready for the upcoming spring planting season. Summer gardening classes are being scheduled. Any child age 5 and older can attend. Come and have some fun with us!
