1st Annual Garden Bedtime Bash - The Children's Garden Project

🌙✨ You’re invited to our first-ever Garden Bedtime Bash! ✨🌙

Join us in the Children’s Garden at Gage Park to put our garden to bed for the winter with seed saving, garlic and bulb planting, leaf collecting, and more! Kids and families will roll up their sleeves, learn hands-on garden care, and celebrate the final harvest of the season. 🍂

🗓️ Date: Saturday, October 18, 2025

🕙 Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

📍 Location: The Children’s Garden Project at Gage Park

This fun, FREE hands-on morning invites children and families to help “tuck the garden in” for its long winter nap. Together, we’ll:

🌼 Harvest the last flowers, veggies, and seeds of the season

🎃 Turn little pumpkins into big works of art with a fun, hands-on craft

✂️ Learn the “chop and drop” method and help cut back the garden beds

🧄 Plant garlic and spring bulbs to surprise us with the first blooms of spring

🍂 Collect leaves and spread compost to feed and protect the soil

...and much more! ✨

Kids will discover how simple actions, like scattering seeds, layering leaves, and planting bulbs, make a big difference for the garden’s health, pollinators, and soil life. Families will take part in activities that connect us to the changing seasons while learning eco-friendly ways to care for the earth.

This is a joyful, family-friendly workshop designed for curious little gardeners and their grown-ups. Come get your hands in the soil, enjoy the crisp autumn air, and help us give the garden a cozy send-off before winter!
