2025 Demonstration Garden Symposium - Youth Gardening

Inspire the next generation of gardeners! Join NC Cooperative Extension for a hands-on workshop designed for Extension professionals, Master Gardener Volunteers, and 4-H Volunteers eager to engage youth in gardening. Using vibrant demonstration gardens at County Extension offices, this session will explore best practices for teaching kids to grow their own food, care for pollinators, and connect with nature. Through interactive activities, creative garden projects, lightning talks, and hands-on learning techniques, participants will gain practical strategies to spark curiosity and confidence in young gardeners. Whether you’re leading a school garden, 4-H club, or community program, this workshop will equip you with the tools and inspiration to cultivate a lifelong love for gardening in youth. 🌱✨
