All Children Can Participate Organization of Youth Clubs need not be limited to children in the best of health, who enjoy the use of all their faculties. There is scope for clubs whose members may suffer from retardation, blindness blindness or other handicaps, and they are our "SPECIAL YOUTH". These less fortunate children are quite able to enjoy gardening and other activities, though on a limited scale. They, too, can plant seeds and care for them until the final display at a show. They can be taught identification of plants and make arrangements and collections. Blind children have been found to be exceptionally talented gardeners, by means of touch and. smell. Gardening opens up a new world to them, as to all children. Join your local Jr. Society now!
