Clemson Extension/Master Gardener Mall Office
| Name | Steve Odom | | Situation | Clemson Extension in Greenwood started a very active Master Gardener Program in the county six years ago. There was a need to have a place for conducting the classes, do follow-up training for class members, conduct seminars, hold meetings and to desiminate research-based information to the public.
| | Response | Contact was made with the Greenwood Mall about using an empty store space in the mall. The management agreed to let the place be used free of charge. Only Extension/Master Gardeners would have to be responsible for utilities. Extension has partnered with Greenwood Parks and Trails to pay utilities. | | Impact | In 2004, Greenwood Mall management allowed the Extension/Master Gardeners and Greenwood Parks and Trail to move from a 720 sq. ft. space to a space nearly 10,000 sq. ft. which can more effectively be used for training, seminars, and meetings. It provides a tremendous savings to Extension since it is rent free. In addition, it provides great visibility to Extension.
