The purpose of the Junior Gardener program is to engage young learners in grades K-4
with environmental science and horticultural programs designed to complement
Delaware State Science Education standards. This in-the-schools program reaches about
3,000 students each year through the efforts of the New Castle County Master Gardeners,
a group of experienced gardeners with additional training in home horticulture with an
environmental sensitivity, as well as training in developing and using teaching materials
and techniques specifically targeted toward young learners.
