What is MG SPROUTS?

MG SPROUTS is a Master Gardener Extension Volunteer-led statewide, horticulture program created by UGA Extension's Georgia Master Gardener Program State Office for kids ages 6-8. Popular children’s literature provides a base for each of the six sessions. Groups read a garden-related story aloud and explore the world of plants through hands-on horticulture, writing, games and other fun activities. MG SPROUTS materials are now available.


Are GA MGEVs in your county considering conducting a MG SPROUTS program? What do you need to know?

MG SPROUTS was developed to meet Master Gardener Extension Volunteers requests for youth horticulture materials. It’s a project-in-a-box approach that requires no garden space, and can be delivered regardless of weather or season. It uses a read-aloud session to engage young participants in stories, introducing concepts about growing things and the natural world. Lively discussion about the story is followed by hands-on activities and games. The My SPROUTS Journal and Grow-On! take-home sheets help engage the participant’s family in his or her discovery of the growing world.
