The purpose of Horticulture is to encourage participants to start and maintain vegetable and herb gardens. In addition, 4-H members can participate in planting, growing, and caring for flowers and houseplants. 4-H members may also participate in the special gardening project, which changes annually.
All static exhibits must have received a purple ribbon at the county fair to advance to the State Fair.
Premier 4-H Science Award is available in this area. Please see General Information for more details.
