There is money here. Tap into it.

The Junior Master Gardener Training Camp will be held at Hilltop Arboretum on Bluebonnet, Master Gardeners is teaching it.

Backyard Habitat Gardener Summer Camp

Ages 7-10

June 10-14, 2024 – 9am-1pm

Backyard Habitat Gardener is a get-your-hands-in-the-dirt program that introduces children, ages 7-10, to natural habitats and allows them to explore the world through horticultural and environmental science activities. Campers will foster an appreciation for nature and nurture a sense of awe and wonder for the natural world. Our counselors are enthusiastic and experienced, but the real teacher at Hilltop is our most treasured resource, the land. It is Hilltop’s hope that we can encourage children to act in their own backyards and beyond!

• Day 1: PLANTS

Learn about PLANT needs, soils, and composting. Decorate tree cookies, make bark rubbings, and engage in other fun hands-on activities!

• Day 2: CRITTERS

Visit Bluebonnet Swamp ON THE GEAUX’s live critters and learn about the habitat basics all creatures need. Campers will create and take home a “Toad Abode”!

• Day 3: INSECTS, BEES, BUTTERFLIES

Learn from an apiarist, interact with bee hives (from a distance), and taste fresh honey. Release a butterfly into the wild!

• Day 4: VEGETABLES, HERBS, FRUITS

o Learning about nutrition can be fun! Engage in a hands-on cooking lesson with take-home recipes and plant a take-home herb garden.

• DAY 5: HORTICULTURE and BIRDS
