The Peebles High School Future Farmers of America may be planting gardens in Peebles, but they are sowing seeds throughout Ohio.

The Ohio Department of Health wanted to feature community gardens. Knox and Adams counties were the counties that the Creating Healthy Communities (CHC) consultants determined had the most success in healthy eating initiatives.
