Agri-Education Center Business Shower Registry

What is a Business Shower?

Much like a traditional shower celebrates a new chapter, a Business Shower is a special occasion where individuals, organizations, and businesses gather to celebrate the launch of a new business or facility. It's a way for organizers to showcase the new endeavor while garnering support for a successful launch.

Want to Support the Agri-Education Center?

Check out our Business Shower Registry: Equip the Teaching Kitchen and Gardening & Maintenance Shop!

Many in our community have asked how they can help bring this vision to life. We’ve created a registry of new or gently used items needed to equip the Agri-Education Center. Browse the list and let us know what you'd like to donate using this Registry Form.  

If your business offers products or services that could benefit the Center—including items or expertise not listed—we’d love to hear from you, too!

Every contribution—big or small—helps us grow hands-on education and community learning in DeSoto County.
