May Garden Buds: Bees & Blooms

May Bees & Blooms: Buzz & blossom with the bees & flowers as you explore the changes of spring!

Tailored to our youngest gardeners (ages 2 and 3), we invite you to connect with your little one to explore the wonder of nature through hands-on work and play in the garden. Together, you’ll harvest garden produce, create botanical crafts, and share stories and songs, and help awaken the garden from its winter slumber.

Each child must be accompanied by only one adult. Please, no siblings, unless you have a second adult to accompany. This program is held almost entirely outdoors.
