JUNIOR GARDENER AWARD
The Junior Gardener Award is given to a maximum of twenty-five children each year, and is entered and
judged as an entity separate from the rest of the bench show.
Please plant the garden from seed and do not use bedding plants.
Suggestions for Junior Gardeners:
1. At the time of planting, use row markers to identify item and variety.
2. Row markers should be waterproof.
3. Keep your seed packages to paste into your journals. Keeping a journal keeps you organized. Mark
down the varieties of vegetables and flowers that you used. Mark down dates of planting, fertilizing,
and progress along the way. Photos inserted make an interesting pictorial journal. Include comments
about your preferences so that you can make choices that you prefer for next year.
4. Don’t forget to use fertilizer (i.e. 20-20-20 diluted) or well-rotted manure.
5. Try to be the only one looking after your garden. Be prepared to discuss with the judges the way you
put your garden together. Think about planting tall plants at the back and shorter ones at the front to
access moisture and sunshine.
6. If you aren’t home during judging, make sure your name is displayed close to your garden.
7. Remember to have fun with this. If something doesn’t come up when you’re expecting it to come,
chose something else and get it in but please, no bedding plants…seeds only!
The categories are as follows:
Preschool
Two different flowers, two different vegetables in a garden 5’ X 5’ (more or less)
Kindergarten – Grade 1
Three different flowers, three different vegetables in a garden 5’ X 5’ (more or less)
Grades 2-3
Three different flowers, three different vegetables in a garden 5’ X 5’ (more or less)
Grades 4-6
Four different flowers, four different vegetables in a garden 6’ X 6’ (more or less)
Grades 7-9
Six different flowers, six different vegetables in a garden 7’ X 7’ (more or less)
There are five prizes for each category. Award: 1st - $15.00, 2nd - $12.00, 3rd - $10.00, 4th - $8.00, 5th - $6.00
