Your age group depends on your age on December 31st of the year that you do your report. In other words, if you are 11 years old while working on your project but turn 12 by the end of the year, you must enter your project in the 12 to 14 age group. When you become 15, you may enter similar contests sponsored by the National junior Horticultural Association.
Groups can work together on projects.
There are no age categories for group projects. Get adult help and advice to select, plan and get involved in one or more activities that will improve the environment. This will involve background learning like reading at the library, visiting a composting center or talking with a horticulturist or other professional. Planning in advance is especially important if you will be planting tree, shrubs, or flowers. Some trees become quite large and cause serious problems when they interfere with power lines, other utilities, or buildings.
