This guide is for volunteer leaders or county Extension personnel, and includes four lessons designed for youth in 3rd-5th grades. Each lesson focuses on an aspect of seeds, plants, and/or gardening. Three additional experiments are included in the Digging Deeper section that youth can do independently or in a group or classroom setting. At the end of the guide, additional resources and an appendix are available. The National 4-H Gardening Series, which includes 4 levels for grades 3rd-12th and a Helper's Guide, is recommended if additional background information is needed. The National 4-H Gardening Series includes projects and activities for youth that have an interest in continuing to learn more about plant science and gardening after completing their windowsill garden.

Twig and branch dieback is a common sight in many juniper plantings in Kentucky. While other factors can cause these general symptoms, two fungal diseases are frequently responsible for the dieback.

Boxwood blight is a disease of boxwood (Buxus spp.), causing rapid defoliation and plant dieback. The fungal disease is particularly devastating to American boxwood cultivars, which can defoliate within a week and die within one growing season. Plants are eventually weakened by repeated defoliation and dieback, and resulting plant stress and consequent colonization by secondary invaders result in plant death.

Woody plant stress has many causes that might ultimately lead to plant decline. Tree and shrub degeneration is often referred to as a "complex," meaning the condition is usually caused by multiple factors. Typically, one or more primary stresses cause deterioration of plant health, followed by secondary pathogens and/or insects that further decline or destroy plants. Determining causes of decline requires careful examination of plants and growing sites, as well as knowledge of site history. Nevertheless, diagnoses may be difficult, as the original cause(s) of plant stress may be obscure or no longer present. Some of the most common plant stresses are addressed in this publication. A wider range of possible causes of plant stress and decline should be considered during evaluation of woody plant material.
