Increasing awareness of the environment, natural resources, ecology, conservation, composting and recycling;
Encourages creativity through observing the cycles of life;
Aids the development of leadership skills;
Provision of opportunities for participation and recognition with nationally sponsored contests and awards;
Nurturing interests at a young age may lead to future hobbies and career opportunities.
Each established Youth Garden Club should be registered annually with Mississippi Youth Chairperson Allison Ashmore by October 1. In turn, the Youth Club is registered as a member of The National Garden Club.
