About

Join us at the JC Raulston Arboretum for an engaging and educational experience designed specifically for Junior Girl Scouts. This Groovy Gardeners workshop offers a unique opportunity for young scouts to explore the wonders of the natural world while working toward completing their official Gardener badge. Participants will immerse themselves in the gardens, gaining hands-on knowledge about diverse plant species and various gardening styles.

The workshop itinerary is packed with interactive activities, including the creation of a personalized mini garden and a botanical experiment to take home. Each scout will also assemble a container garden, providing a lasting project to nurture and observe as it grows. This program is perfect for both individual scouts and organized troops, with stations designed to encourage teamwork and discovery.

Space is limited, so please ensure your registration includes your specific troop number. Guardians or troop leaders are required to provide supervision throughout the event. Visit the Bobby G. Wilder Visitor Center upon arrival to check in. Secure your spot today for this delightful outdoor adventure and let your green thumb shine in our beautiful gardens.
