Rutgers, NJAES Cooperative Extension of Gloucester County is now offering the Jr. Master Gardener program. Jr. Master Gardeners is a new and innovative youth gardening project. It is modeled after the highly popular Master Gardener program, and offers horticulture and environmental science education through fun and creative activities. The project is geared towards children in grades 3 through 8. 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. The Gloucester County program will begin in November.
