Master Gardeners display exhibits on topics such as poisonous plants, container growing, herbs, bonsai, and propagation, to name just a few. They take part in Earth Day, National Garden Week, and many other horticulture related events. Garden Prose is the Aiken County Master Gardener monthly newsletter. Agriculture Aiken County has a very diverse agricultural industry. Crops grown in the county include cotton, peanuts, soybeans, small grains, corn, peaches, and timber.
Livestock includes beef cattle, swine, poultry, horses, goats, and a dairy.
Pasture and hay are also grown to provide feed for the livestock. We work in cooperation with other agencies, such as the Aiken County Public Works Department, by sponsoring a pesticide container recycling program. We also work with the Aiken County Cattlemen's Association and the Aiken County Forestry Association to develop and provide educational programs in beef cattle and forestry, respectively.
