Education Opportunities

Youth Education
The Junior Master Gardener program is an horticulture-based educational program geared for young minds.  The lessons are hands-on, challenging, but most of all fun.  Students learn about plant growth and development, soils and water, ecology and environmental horticulture, insects and diseases, plant propagation, landscape horticulture, fruits and nuts, vegetables and herbs, life skills and career exploration, and more .... your child will blossom through this program.

For those that are up to the challenge, students can become Certified Junior Master Gardeners.  This program requires them to take leadership roles and participate/organize community service projects.

 

 

 

Junior Master Gardener classes are being offered in several schools throughout Ellis County.  For more information on organizing a Junior Master Gardener program on your campus or participating in one of the local campus programs, contact Mimi by clicking here.

An exciting adventure is waiting for your student ...
