Jr Master Gardener March 12, 2011

The Junior Master Gardener (JMG) program provides an opportunity for youth to interact and bond with nature through a new, flexible session that will be offered year-round on the second Saturday of each month. Participants can attend any month, since the material covered does not build on prior classes. 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. It only takes seven Saturdays to be completely certified. 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. Online registration available on the website.
