2025 State 4-H Horticulture Judging Contest
The 4-H Horticulture Judging Contest helps members grow in their ability to think, reason, and make logical and scientific judgments through plant identification, knowledge testing, and judging classes. Our contest is hosted by the Department of Horticulture, Forestry, and Natural Resources on Saturday, August 16, 2025, on the K-State Manhattan Campus.
The 2025 Study Materials have also been updated. Registration information will be available in May.
There are other helpful resources on the website. Please contact Beth Hinshaw if you would like to learn more about hosting a local contest. If you are going to the work of hosting a local contest, please consider inviting youth from your neighboring units to participate. Extra opportunities to practice and compete make a difference; you might be helping youth find their SPARK!
