Sprouts 4-H Garden Club now enrolling

Medina County youth are invited to dig in and get growing with the OSU Extension Sprouts Club this spring and summer.

The special-interest club, offered through Medina 4-H and Master Gardener Volunteers, introduces youth to gardening through a nine-session, hands-on series. Participants will explore topics including soil preparation and composting, planting seeds and transplants, plant care and pollinators.

The program concludes with youth presentations, a garden celebration and a 4-H club display at the Medina County Fair. By the end of the series, participants will gain the knowledge and confidence to garden at home.

4-H programs are open to youth ages 5 and in kindergarten through age 18, though this program is best suited for ages 6-12.

The first session is April 14, with classes held from 5:30-6:45 p.m. on select dates through Aug. 1. The cost is $15 per child.

Registration is required. For more information or assistance, contact the Medina Extension Office at 330-725-4911.
