Garden n Grow

**Garden 'n Grow** Is your child interested in getting their hands dirty and growing something real? Garden 'n Grow welcomes young gardeners ages 9–13 to spend the summer planting, tending, and harvesting their own garden plots. Led by experienced Extension Master Gardeners, this program works for kids whether they're already plant-curious or just discovering gardening for the first time. Over 20 sessions running Monday and Thursday mornings from early June through early August, participants gain practical gardening skills while building confidence and a genuine appreciation for nature. Each two-hour session blends outdoor hands-on work with learning that keeps things engaging and age-appropriate. The program costs $50 for the entire summer. Registration closes May 12, and spots fill up—the program requires a minimum of five participants to run. If your family is interested, reach out to mggkc.adv.edu@gmail.com with questions or to discuss any accessibility needs. This is a great way for kids to experience the satisfaction of growing food and connecting with the natural world during their summer break.
