More Than a Garden
How Our Programs Have Helped the Community
Food Safety Education
Did you know September was Food Safety Education Month? Morgan partnered with our local Senior Centers to share essential tips on food safety, including the food temperature danger zone, proper thawing methods, and ways to prevent common foodborne illnesses. Connect with food safety resources!
Successful Fall Gardening
Recently, two Extension Master Gardener volunteers put on a presentation to help local community members decide how they will prep and plant their fall garden. This informative talk went over fall garden to-do’s, what grows best during a coastal fall, and how to manage and maintain a fall garden to keep it vibrant and thriving. Check out fall gardening resources!
Everyday Essentials Starts
Our new youth program, Everyday Essentials, launched this past Tuesday, and we’re excited to support these young leaders as they build valuable life skills. In the first session, participants learned foundational kitchen skills and safety basics. Want to see what’s up next for these participants, check out our program page!

Sourdough 101
Did you know you can learn to make sourdough right at home with Morgan? In September, we launched the first of three sourdough recipe videos to help you get started with the right tools and techniques. Follow along and learn how to make a variety of delicious sourdough snacks from scratch! Watch here.
Composting Essentials
Compost is made by breaking down food scraps, yard waste, paper, and more into nutrient-rich material for your soil. Whether done at home or through community programs, composting keeps organic waste out of landfills and supports a healthier environment. Learn how to start composting in your own home!
Permeable Pavement
Ever notice pavement in New Hanover County that seems to absorb rain? That’s permeable pavement—a smart way to reduce flooding and pollution. But without proper maintenance, it can clog and stop working. Learn how it works, why upkeep matters, and how to keep it flowing in this quick, informative read.
