Youth Classes & Workshops
"Children love things that grow. That is probably why few toys can ever hold their attention as long as a garden will. Everything about a garden appeals to them. Planting a seed is a privilege they are ready to fight for, and day after day they will come back to see if it has begun to sprout. Watching a bud unfold is another experience that fills them with wonderment. It is no exaggeration to say that the youngster who does not have his own garden or flower box, or just a single flowerpot, is being deprived of one of childhood's most treasured possessions."
--Dorothy Edwards Shuttlesworth, "Exploring Nature with Your Child", published in 1952.
Gardening isn't just for adults! The Garden invites children and families to engage their natural curiosity and discover the intriguing world of plants, science, nature, art, and culture. We are constantly developing our program offerings for youth, below is a listing of what's coming up, but if you'd like to partner with us in combatting "Nature Deficit Disorder" contact us today.

"FABULOUS FROGS"
Instructor: Ann Marie Pilch
This program is designed for children ages 3 - 5 with their parent or caregiver. Class begins inside with an activity and storytime. Then participants step outside for a short walk to discover what (or who!) is new in the garden. Please dress for the weather so you and a child can be the first to see the Garden come alive in the springtime, and see fabulous frogs at the Wildlife Refuge Pond!
