Junior Garden Club

Gardening is a way to keep our instinctive connection with nature, food and our planet – and the Junior Garden Club does just that.

The Junior Garden Club cultivates wonder and encourages natural interest while teaching youth the techniques of growing food at home. It uses gardening and food activities to support learning objectives, from planting tiny seeds and prepping soil to making a fresh salad and pickling vegetables – the club connects children to agriculture, food and the environment.
