Youth Gardening Class – Spring Session

The Youth Gardening Class-Spring Session will be March 19, 26, April 2 & 16. During this
session the young gardeners will be learning about wildlife habitats. They will be setting up
watering and feeding stations in the garden. They will be planting plants to provide a place for
laying eggs, providing food and shelter for the hummingbirds, birds, butterflies and other wildlife
that will visit the garden. There are three age groups: Sprouts (ages 4-6), Junior Master Gardener
(grades 3-5) and teen helpers, (grades 7 th and up). The classes are on Tuesdays from 4-5:30. The
youth meet together for a lesson on the day’s subject then they break out into two groups. Sprouts
will be planting flowers, herbs and vegetables in the lower beds. The Junior Master Gardeners
will be planting and working in the big garden. The PPC Youth Gardening Classes are
underwritten by the San Angelo Garden Club and are free to attend. The goal of the PPC is to
give youth information about eating healthy and growing their own food as well as preserving
wildlife habitats and protecting the environment. To register your youth, simply call 325-656-
