4-Hers participate in training workshop

4-Hers, Leaders and parents got a first-hand look at the production of flowers when they participated in a training workshop organised by The Barbados 4-H Foundation held at the Bullens Agricultural Research Station at Holders Hill, St. James last Saturday.

The session was conducted by Anthony Phillips, Officer-in-charge and his assistant John Gollop.

The participants received practical exposure in Air Layering, Potting of Plants, Growing of Orchids and Soil Mixtures.

The workshop forms part of the ongoing programme of training organised by the 4-H Foundation.

Already this year, 4-Hers have been involved in six-week sessions of Cake Baking and Basketry. A six-week programme in Cake Decorating is presently being conducted at 4-H Headquarters, Crumpton Street, St. Michael, and is scheduled to be completed in three weeks.

Other programmes to be conducted this month include training in Rabbit and Sheep Husbandry.
