Youth Gardening Program

Our youth gardening programs are designed to cultivate socially, physically & emotionally healthy children through the garden experience.

Children's Gardening
For children, in grades 3-12, the Junior Master Gardener Program engages children in "hands-on" group and individual learning experiences that instill a love of gardening, develop an appreciation for the environment, and cultivate the mind. This nationally recognized program offers:

• Life/skill and career exploration

• Service learning opportunities for youth

• Correlation to NYS Learning Standards ( all areas, not
  just Science )
