The JMG prgram teaches children about vegetable gardening, organic gardening, environmental stewardship, native animal habitats, healthy food choices and other related topics.The goal is to connect young people to the earth and through this connectiveness establish a grounding that is often overlooked when focused on excelling solely on academics.  The JMG program also achknowledges that not all children learn in a traditional setting.  The JMG program supports experimental learning, accepts failure as a part of the learing process, uses analysis to understand why the failure occurred and collobrative teamwork to find new solutions.
