Individual activities allow young gardeners to learn on their own. Flexibility if a key component in the JMG program. With so many activities to choose from , JMG leaders or individual gardeners can customize the program to meet their own needs and interests. The JMG program introduces young gardeners to the art and science of gardening, and helps them develop leadership and life skills to become good citizens within their communities, schools and families.
