Youth Gardening in Kittitas County

Two raised garden boxes labeled with grade levels at a local elementary school.

Are you a teacher who wants to get your students in the garden? The gardeners of tomorrow start building their passion today! We have youth gardening programs where we offer kids a chance to learn and the opportunity to experience the joy of gardening. The goal is to build knowledge and to inspire a passion for gardening that lasts a lifetime.

Youth Gardening Events

Our catalog of classes

Today’s youth are tomorrow’s gardeners. Magic happens when children catch the gardening ‘bug’ and once the interest is sparked, you can generate a passion that lasts a lifetime. Here in Kittitas County, the Extension Master Gardener Program is investing in the gardeners of tomorrow. While our classes are still in development, Master Gardeners are available to help your childcare center, school, youth group, or club plan gardening or horticulture projects! Reach out to our Master Gardeners to request assistance.
