Youth gardening in Yakima County

A Master Gardener bends down to work with two children visiting the program's outdoor table.  There are samples of a flower craft on the table and informational materials.

Our youth activities allow kids to experience the wonders of this rewarding hobby firsthand. While building essential knowledge, these programs primarily aim to cultivate a lifelong love for the art of gardening. Nurture the gardeners of tomorrow by immersing them in this enriching experience today!

Growing gardeners of tomorrow

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 Yakima County, the Extension Master Gardener Program is investing in the gardeners of tomorrow. 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.
