Preregistration Required

For 2- and 3-year-olds with an adult. Learn about the wonders of gardening with your 2- or 3-year-old during this active hands-on program offered during spring and fall. Our youngest gardeners work with their adult partner to tend to their garden plots, sing songs, taste new foods, and create nature crafts.

This is not a drop-off program. Consistent weekly attendance of one adult per child is required. No additional adults or children including infants or older siblings, please.

  • 60-minute sections: $262 nonmember/$236 member

Participation Requirements

  • One hour and 1.5-hour programs are offered. We recommend the 1.5-hour class for 3-year-olds or returning families.
  • The class is for one adult-child pair only; no siblings or additional adults please.
  • Children should wear clothing that can get dirty and closed-toe shoes (no sandals).
