They established the Emma Jeannette Carr Memorial Endowment to advance vegetable gardening education and outreach throughout the Clemson Extension service area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cJeannette was well known for her love of gardening fresh vegetables and fruits,\u201d said Extension Director Tom Dobbins. \u201cWe are excited and honored to partner with Titan Farms to continue her legacy and advance vegetable gardening across the state of South Carolina.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Jeannette Carr\u2019s impact on the Ridge Spring Farmers Market is also still being felt. The opportunity for her grandchildren to spend one last summer continuing their grandmother\u2019s legacy by running her vegetable stand was a way to honor her memory. All proceeds will go toward the endowment.
