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.
- DUES of 1.00 per youth club are paid to LGCF Treasurer
with sponsoring adult garden club dues. Deadline for registration is
December 1.
- Submit youth garden club(s) registration ANNUALLY
