Youth Education
Report
Children love the opportunity to play in the dirt and are delighted by flowers and bugs. There is a natural curiosity about how nature works and children get genuinely excited about seeing things grow. We like helping to plant the seed of the next generation of gardeners. Youth Education has developed several presentations that are geared towards elementary and middle-school students.
