Each year, the Garden Club invites Scituate's 4th and 5th grade students to our free Junior Gardeners program. The purpose of this program is to encourage a love of gardening and to teach design and gardening skills, while encouraging conservation, recycling, and environmental awareness.  The program consists of four workshops and two additional activities held throughout the school year.
