July Garden Buds: Summer Sunshine

July Summer Sunshine: Play, learn, and harvest veggies in the bright summer sun!

Tailored to our youngest gardeners (ages 2 and 3), we invite you to connect with your little one to explore the wonder of nature through hands-on work and play in the garden. Together, you’ll harvest garden produce, create botanical crafts, and share stories and songs.

Each child must be accompanied by only one adult. Please, no siblings, unless you have a second adult to accompany. This program is held almost entirely outdoors.
