Junior Master Gardener Program |
While historically known to focus on traditional agricultural projects, the Oklahoma 4-H Youth Development program has something for everyone. Something that many young people will find fun and exciting is the Junior Master Gardener Program.
This curriculum covers all aspects of horticulture and landscape architecture, said Shelley Mitchell, Oklahoma State University Extension 4-H Youth Development horticulture specialist.
“It’s not just about growing pretty flowers or tasty fruits and vegetables. The Junior Master Gardeners program incorporates soil and water conservation, ecology, plant growth and development, insects and diseases, and even nutrition. 4-H has a big emphasis on STEM activities and the JMG fits right in with that,” Mitchell said. “There are two levels of the curriculum, including Level 1 for 3rd through 5th grade and Level 2 for grades 6th through 8th.”
