JR. MASTER GARDENER

What is the Junior Master Gardener club?
Junior Master Gardener is a year-round youth gardening club held at Thanksgiving Point in connection with USU Extension 4-H. Our Junior Master Gardeners design, plant and take care of the gardens at Farm Country.

Through authentic outdoor experiences Junior Master Gardeners learn where food comes from, how it grows and the importance of fruits and vegetables in a healthy diet. Youth who want to enroll must be in grades 2-5 for the current 2019/2020 school year. Learn more HERE
