Youth Gardening Class – Spring Session

The Youth Gardening Class-Spring Session will begin March 12 and continue for 4 weeks ending
April 2. 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 325-656-3104 or go to the website: www.peopleplantconnection.org on the contact
