Throughout the 9 weeks, youth will receive materials and lessons for different gardening topics including:
- Super Seeds – Dig into activities around seeds! Youth will grow microgreens and create their own seed necklace. Learn what seeds need in order to germinate and grow!
- Starting the Garden – Youth will learn all about how to make paper pots, a mini-greenhouse, and grow some seedlings inside for an early start to the garden.
- Planting the Garden – Find the right spot for the garden and get growing by sowing seeds and transplanting veggie seedlings. Gather garden tools and just grow it!

- Splendid Soil – Learn more about the soil, its role in growing healthy plants, and investigate an earthworm.
- Beneficial Bugs – Find out the buzz on how insects impact our plants.
- Plant Problems – Observe plants in the garden for any issues and try to find out what is causing them.
- Food Safety – Learn how to handle plants with care to keep yourself and others safe while enjoying the vegetables.
