Summer & After School

The youth involved with the garden range from Kindergartners to teenagers, and each group gains particular knowledge of the plants and their uses through fun, exploratory activities. The purposes of the workshops are to help maintain the gardens while aligning with themes that connect gardening to healthy daily living. Some of the recent themes have been: The Garden Spot: where kids are the gardeners, chefs and diners of their very own restaurant; Gorgeous Gardens: Making functional garden art; and Growing A Business: youth entrepreneurs create organic, herb-based products to sell locally.
