Our Kids Gardening Program is offered in two 10-week sessions: a Spring Session, and a Fall Session, or opt for the year upfront (both Spring and Fall) offered at a discounted rate. 

Spring Session:  March 6/7th - May 8/9th    

Fall Session:  August 28/29th - October 30/31st

Ages 3-6:  Wednesdays at 3:30 - 4:30pm

Ages 7-12: Thursdays at 3:30 - 4:30pm

Students will be taught gardening skills including but not limited to garden planning and prep, seeding, transplanting, compost making, wildlife identification and observation. 

Each week will cover a different topic relating to soil health and vegetable production. The younger kids can expect an exploratory farm experience while the older kids will be doing more hands-on gardening activities. Everyone will have an opportunity to plant a seed and nurture it to harvest. Every lesson is developed to engage each student in exploring scientific and mathematical practices as well as creative activities such as building, crafting, storytelling, etc. 

We do expect your students to get dirty from time to time. All efforts are made to keep them clean but seeding, bed prep, and putting plants in the ground can sometimes get messy. Wear clothes that can get dirty.

Each garden club member will be provided with garden gloves and tools. 

Driving/parking - parents can drop their kids off at the farm at or just before 3:30 on the scheduled day.
