Earth Gardens School Program

Earth Gardens is a hands-on experiential curriculum that provides opportunities for K-6 classes to learn all about the world of gardening. The curriculum was created by a consortium of educational groups headed by Colorado State University Extension 4-H Youth Development Programs in Boulder and Adams Counties and the Flower Gardening Foundation.
