Come Grow with Us in 2023!

The Junior Master Gardener (JMG) program is a youth gardening program of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension. JMG engages children in hands-on group and individual learning experiences that provide a love of gardening, develop an appreciation for the environment, cultivate leadership, personal responsibility, community involvement, and critical thinking skills.

The JMGs will be meeting on Thursday, January 19, 5:30 p.m., in the Extension Conference Room, 2nd Floor, County Services Building, 60 East Court Street, Marion.
