YOUTH MEMO -- updated April 2010
Louisiana Garden Club Federation, Inc. encourages our adult clubs to sponsor
all age groups of Youth Garden Clubs . They can be affiliated with a school,
church, neighborhood, or an established Scout group. By encouraging youth
groups, we hope to spark an interest and love of gardening in children,
not only to improve and maintain our environment but for the sheer fun
of "digging in the dirt."
Once it is a registered member, the Youth Club can apply for
awards, and participate in LGCF, Inc. activities. Contact our Youth Chairman for
more information.
