Green Thumb Challenge
GEF is calling on schools and groups to join the largest youth gardening initiative!
The Green Thumb Challenge aims to connect children with nature and the healthy benefits of gardening as part of a nationwide movement to get kids growing. Whether sowing seeds during one class period, planting bulbs in one afternoon, or planning an outdoor garden that comes back year after year, you and your students can be part of the movement!
Green Thumb Challenge Program
Gardening offers fun hands-on educational opportunities, connects kids with nature, and promotes healthy food choices. Participation is free and easy! Check it out!
GEF provides free Pre K-8 standards-based lessons, fun activities, songs, and book recommendations that link gardening to science, math, language arts, and art. Learn More!
Keep your school or youth garden growing throughout the summer and beyond! GEF offers plenty of gardening resources to help yours flourish year round! Read on!
