It is modeled after the highly popular Master Gardener program, and offers horticulture and environmental science education through fun and creative activities. Curious youth ages 8–18 (as of Sept. 1, 2025) are invited to dig into the world of plants, science, and stewardship! This 4-H club meets for eight one-hour sessions and follows the nationally recognized Junior Master Gardener curriculum, exploring a little bit of everything, from plants and soil to insects, ecosystems, and caring for our environment. 

Meetings will be in the Canton Giving Garden, and will be hands-on, engaging, and designed to spark curiosity at every age level. 

Club members will also have the opportunity to participate in Canton Neighborhood Connections, a special community-driven day focused on doing kind things for our neighbors. Whether your child loves gardening, nature, or just getting their hands dirty, this 4-H Club is a fun way to learn, grow, and give back.
