Junior Garden Club
​
Creating opportunities for kids to cultivate their natural curiosity and wonder.
The Junior Garden Club exposes kids to a variety of fruits and vegetables and encourages taste testing straight from the ground. Kids will learn how to plant their own garden, choose which veggies to plant and learn the basics from prepping the soil to planting seeds and watering.
Kids will learn how to grow food in small spaces and use gardening and food activities to support learning objectives. From planting a tiny seed to making a fresh salad, our Junior Garden Club connects children to food and their environment.
What is the Junior Garden Club?
​
The Junior Garden Club runs from March to October, 2024. Throughout the course of the club, we will be providing instructions on how to plant, grow and harvest a garden, along with hands on crafts and recipe ideas. Your child will choose which vegetables and fruits they want to plant, as well as the activities they want to partake in. The activities are tailored for kids ages 8–12, however, younger kids are welcome to join, but may require additional support from an adult. The program can be delivered in schools, home or in local communities.
​
Activities will be emailed straight to your inbox throughout the gardening season.
Don't forget to upload photos of your child's growing garden below so we can share
