Junior Master Gardener Program

The Junior Master Gardener (JMG) program provides an opportunity for youth to interact and bond with nature through sessions that meets three times a month until the end of May. Every month will cover a different section of the JMG book, so students will get certified in each section and receive an overall certification upon completion of the entire curriculum. Level 1 (ages 8 to 10) explores insects, plant life, design, and more. Level 2 (ages 11 to 13) focuses on plant growth and propagation methods, as well as the effects of soil and water cycles on plants. Fee includes youth handbook, T-shirt, and all materials.
