Garden Activities

Participants will enjoy fun activities related to gardening.  These activities may include a storytime, art and crafts activities, scavenger hunts, garden tours, and games, etc.
​Children will learn the basics of gardening, it's importance and it's responsibilities.
They will learn how to plant a seed or a seedling, mulch a garden, weed, and harvest. 
They will be given opportunities to pick fruit and veggies from the garden as it ripens.
Children participating in this part of the program will have the added responsibility of checking their raised garden bed of planted veggies on a regular basis to check for weeds and watering.  That regular basis may be every few days or weekly depending on the plants that they have planted.
​

Children's Garden

A communal garden has also been established to encourage students to share veggies with others by harvesting them for placement in the kiosk on Westmor St.

Parent Responsibilities

Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
​Parents or guardians are encouraged to participate along with their children.

We Would Love to Have You Visit Soon!
