About the Program: 

The Washington Youth Garden uses the garden cycle as a tool to enrich science learning, inspire environmental stewardship and cultivate healthy food choices in youth and families. We partner with local schools to deliver garden science classroom lessons and establish school garden programs.  We also deliver three programs at our 40+ year old demonstration garden in the U.S. National Arboretum: our field trip program, SPROUT (Science Program Reaching OUT), our Green Teen Leadership Program, and our Family Garden Days.
