The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is celebrating Black History Month by promoting Carver’s Secret Garden, an agricultural program developed for inner-city urban youth. Created by Rick Sayles, a 4-H Urban Youth Development Educator with Penn State Cooperative Extension’s Capital Region, the program was named for the famed agricultural inventor George Washington Carver, who was known as “The Plant Doctor.” Sayles has planted seven of the gardening clubs throughout the Capital region, all designed to help youth develop teamwork, responsibility and leadership skills.
