This new, flexible session will be offered year-round on the second Saturday of each month beginning September 12. With this option, participants can attend any month, since the material covered does not build on prior classes. Every month will cover a different section of the JMG book, so students will get certified in each section and receive an overall certification upon completion of the entire curriculum. It only takes seven Saturdays to be completely certified. Level 1 (ages 8-10) explores insects, plant life, design, and more. Level 2 (ages 11-13) focuses on plant growth and propagation methods, as well as the effects of soil and water cycles on plants.
Registration Closed
$20 per student per session
