Columbus Tractor Supply helps young people get growing with Future Gardeners kit

The Columbus Tractor Supply is providing free garden kits to local children to teach the basics of at-home gardening.

Customers can stop by the store on April 22 to receive a TSC Future Gardeners Kit while supplies last. Team members will be available to answer questions and explain the best ways to nurture and care for the children’s future gardens, while sharing the importance of eating fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs.

Each kit includes essentials like seed packs, topsoil, a bucket, and directions for watering and caring for the seedlings as they grow with the goal of providing children with a first-hand opportunity to learn about plant life and produce.

“At Tractor Supply, we strive to educate and inspire underserved communities and the next generation about all things Out Here,” Columbus store manager Brittany Sanders said. “The unfortunate reality is that many young people lack access to fresh produce, let alone an opportunity to see how it grows. With these kits, we can share our knowledge and provide a fun opportunity to discover the thrill of growing fruits and vegetables.”

To pick up a TSC Future Gardeners Kit, customers can visit the curbside pickup area from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information about this and other community initiatives, visit TractorSupply. com or contact the Columbus store at 979-7322029.
