• Junior Master Gardener Program

  • Coweta County Extension offers a variety of programs for youth, including the Junior Master Gardener program (JMG). The JMG program helps cultivate youth and encourages involvement in the local community service projects. The JMG program, designed by Texas A&M University Extension is modeled after the adult Master Gardener program. Using fun and creative activities, the JMG program offers science based environmental horticultural education along with leadership and life skills development. The program is designed to help youth become good gardeners and good citizens so they can make a positive contribution to their family, school and community. Heidi Roemer, Coweta County Master Gardener, leads the JMG program. For more information, call Ms. Roemer at 770-463-9119 or the Coweta County Extension Office at 770-254-2620.
