For Ages 4 – 6
Edible Garden Sprouts programs introduce children and their favorite adult to the world of plants and gardening. Children who grow their own food are more likely to eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Each program includes time in the children’s garden. Our mini gardeners will learn about the process of gardening by planting seeds, maintaining their young plants and harvesting vegetables.
Bundle of 7 classes, Tuesdays, 1-2:00 PM:
June 4 - Flower Feeders
Pollinators like butterflies, bees and hummingbirds are an important part of any garden. Take some time to search our garden for pollinators and then plant special flowers to attract these critters.
June 18 - Parts of a Plant
Can we really eat the whole plant? Harvest plants from our garden and taste the fruits (and leaves and roots) of our labor. They are all tasty!

Discover the colors of the rainbow right in our garden! Go on a color hunt to see what you can find. Harvest some vegetables bursting with color, and discover what you can do with our beautifully pigmented finds.
July 16 - Fall Crop
July is a busy time in the garden. Now is the time to plant our cool weather crops like broccoli, cabbage and carrots! Get your hands dirty getting these seeds into the garden. Take a look around and see what needs to be harvested, and enjoy our bounty.
