4-H Grow Boxes

 Please invite your families to join us for November's 4-H Grow Box on plant propagation. Get your 4-H'ers growing succulents, houseplants, airplants, seeds and more. Each box has all youth need to dig in and grow something fun, a magazine sharing the activity details (this was last month's), a supplemental website, a personalized postcard celebrating participation in 4-H. 


Thanks to Cleveland County Extension's Charlie Godfrey and Julie Flowers and your 4-H'er for helping craft the content in this month's box on plant propagation. If any of y'all have any questions or an interest in customizing this to your county, I am glad to talk further. Thanks! Liz

A program of Garden fun for your family delivered to your door from North Carolina 4-H and the JC Raulston Arboretum at NC State University. 

Science Exploration at Home
The Grow Box gives youth and their families the opportunity to explore their backyard or the natural spaces near them with guided activities designed to develop their science skills. You’ll grow plants together, search for seeds, observe pollinators, and get creative with the hands-on activities in each box.  

Every Two Months
The Grow Box will be delivered to your door packed with engaging, hands-on activities for your family. Inside you’ll find plants or seeds, tools for outdoor exploring, an activity book packed full of information including plant profiles from the JC Raulston Arboretum’s gardens and fun garden games, and other resources to document your garden adventures.

Seasonal Lessons
November’s Grow Box program is on plant propagation.
  • Enjoy propagating plants by digging into succulents, houseplants and seeds! Youth will craft experiments with temperature and moisture, grow little plant babies, explore changing leaves and much more!
  • Estimated shipping date for November/December Box: November 16, 2020
  • Purchasing Options: The Grow Box can be purchased individually for $30/box – no need for a year-long subscription. Order one for the entire family or one for each child in your house. Just make sure to order by the required deadline to ensure that your family receives their box.
  • Only 75 boxes will be produced each rotation, so make sure to sign up early!
  • You’ll be notified by email when the box ships so you know to watch the mailbox for its arrival.
  • We hope that during this time of a pandemic, this will bring North Carolina 4-H and the JC Raulston Arboretum to your doorstep.
