For kids, a growing experience

Kids learn to grow and nurture plants.

Lebanon children 7-12 can learn and practice gardening in a series of six monthly sessions from April through September at the UMaine Extension York County ^1]demonstration gardens. They are mentored and inspired by a team of Master Gardener Volunteers . Successfully raising vegetables, flowers, and herbs builds self-esteem and starts children on a journey that can become a satisfying, lifelong hobby.

The cost of Kids Can Grow is $25 per child. Applications are due April 5.
