Garden Club is Back!
WSPL's Junior Master Gardeners Program for ages 6-12
Starting March 7th!
 
The Junior Master Gardener program is an international youth gardening program of the university cooperative Extension network. JMG engages children in novel, “hands-on” group and individual learning experiences that provide a love of gardening, develop an appreciation for the environment, and cultivate the mind.
 
Garden Club meets on Saturdays (once a month in the spring, then twice a month during the summer) at the Narrowsburg Branch, using the Tusten Heritage Community Garden as our base of operations. Participants will learn all about gardening, from starting seeds to harvesting, and will participate in community service projects to earn their Junior Master Gardener certification.
