Have you ever seen your child pull a carrot out of the ground? If so, then you know the priceless look on their proud face when they start making the connection that the food they eat comes from plants out in the field. Our Little Gardeners workshop is put on monthly during the growing season.Our goal is to help develop childrens' connection to the natural world through educational, fun and interactive gardening activities.
Children will begin to get a sense of where their food comes from and the natural processes plants go through. Each workshop can be attended individually, but parents are encouraged to attend all monthly sessions in order for their child to gain an understanding of a complete growing season. Each month will have a different focus depending on what real farmers are doing that time of year. For example, come to our workshop in the Spring and watch your child learn about seeds and even help plant! Come to the workshop a month later, and your child will begin to grasp the continuity of it all by seeing that the seed they planted a month earlier sprouted into a tiny plant! All workshops will mix the educational component with fun hands-on activities. Get ready for your children to learn about gardening using all of their five senses!
