The Green Clover Gardeners
“Learn to grow, in more ways than one, with Hancock County 4-H.”
The Green Clover Gardeners is a 4-H Special Interest Club for youth ages 8-14 dedicated to learning the basics of gardening. This club will explore topics such as soil health, composting, environmental relationships in the garden, food safety, and more. Most importantly, this club will raise produce at the Hancock County Extension office gardens, in collaboration with Master Gardener Volunteers, to donate to local food pantries and the Maine Harvest For Hunger program.
Club Meetings and Activities
The club met on select Mondays from March through August 2026, offering participants hands-on opportunities to learn about gardening, food, and healthy living.
Spring activities focused on sowing seeds, soil health, and growing microgreens. During the summer, participants explored planting, garden friends and foes, food safety, and healthy cooking. Club activities also included field trips and preparation for the Blue Hill Fair.
