Programs

Embark on a desert adventure in our "Desert Oasis" class! Dive into the enchanting world of succulents and cacti as students explore their unique characteristics and learn to distinguish between these resilient plant families. Guided by an expert instructor, young botanists will harness their creativity to craft stunning desert dioramas using cacti and succulents. From spiky landscapes to lush oases, students will bring their own miniature desert ecosystems to life, ready to thrive in any space. Join us for a hands-on journey through arid landscapes and botanical wonders!  Students will take home their desert dioramas.

The 4-H Youth and Family Development Program, the youth component of Cornell University Cooperative Extension, helps young people become self-directing, productive and contributing members of society. Programs conducted by Cornell Cooperative Extension at schools, libraries and other community sites all emphasize “learning by doing.”
