About this experience

Little Sprouts: A Garden Class for children aged 3-5 and their caregivers
Little Sprouts is a monthly class designed to foster a love and sense of wonder for the outside world in your child. Each month, we will explore a seasonal theme through a 5-senses garden walk, story-time, a hands-on craft or activity, and a take home kit. Little Sprouts is the most fun outdoors, so come prepared for the weather! (In the event of inclement weather, we will have an indoor location).
Feel free to bring your own snack for story-time!
This class is geared towards preschool age students. 
 
September Theme: Vegetables
September is harvest season here in New England! Come celebrate the bounty of farm-fresh veggies in our own Seed to Table Vegetable Garden with Educator Libby - smelling, tasting, seeing, touching, and even listening our way through the produce. We will unwind in the shade with snacks from the garden and create our own vegetable themed art. Kids will take home a fine motor skill activity, as well as the Taste the Rainbow challenge!
Pre-registration is required for supply prepperation. Each registration is good for one child and one adult. Adults need to be present to assist children with activities.
