A 4-H gardening club is a group of children led by caring adult helpers who use fun activities related to gardening and plants to help children learn life skills to become competent, caring and contributing citizens.

A 4-H club is a Lehigh County 4-H group formed specifically to engage youth in their local community through 4-H projects, community-based service projects and fun activities with other kids their age.

Any Lehigh County youth ages 8-18 as of Jan. 1, 2026, interested in participating in a gardening or plants club are welcome to join.

The meetings are held at the Lehigh County Agricultural Center on Dorney Park Road where there is access to many garden spaces to visit.

Prior experience with 4-H is not expected.

The club will include lots of fun, hands-on activities related to growing conditions, gardening options, pests, tours, field trips and speakers from the Penn State Master Gardeners.

Come see what makes 4-H the best and largest youth development program in the nation.

We are six million youth strong!

If your child is interested in joining, contact Kelly in the 4-H office at 610-391-9840 or kmb26@psu.edu.
