Hands-on activities for at-home exploring
My Plate and the Planet
My Plate and the Planet is an exciting new initiative that encourages youth ages 8 to 16 to explore the food we eat and the world around us through hands-on activities – while having some 4-H fun in your own home.
Families and 4-H clubs can register to receive the My Plate and the Planet Activity Kit, which has everything you need to grow your own salad garden at home! Plus, it’s free!
Registration to get your own kit starts Dec. 14, 2020, and ends Jan 31, 2020. Kits ship and resources will be available in mid-February.
