Spark a lifelong love of gardening while creating special memories together! This interactive virtual workshop is the perfect way for children and their caregivers to explore the exciting world of gardening through hands-on learning and creative discovery.
Did you know that children who help grow their own fruits and vegetables are more likely to try—and enjoy—eating them? Gardening encourages curiosity, responsibility, healthy eating habits, and a deeper appreciation for nature, all while providing quality time together.
Whether you're looking for a fun family activity, a homeschool enrichment class, a unique birthday party, a Scout activity, or an educational program for youth organizations, this engaging workshop is designed to inspire young gardeners of all experience levels.
Together we'll plant seeds in a mini tabletop greenhouse (included in your kit) while learning how plants grow and what they need to thrive. Every child will leave with their own garden to continue growing at home!
During this workshop, we'll explore:
What plants need to grow
How greenhouses work
Which seeds should be started indoors and which grow best when planted directly outside
How and when to water your plants
Do plants need fertilizer?
What is "living soil" and why is healthy soil so important?
Fun gardening facts, growing tips, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions!

FAQ

My kids are younger than 8, can I take the class without my kids and teach them later?
Yes, absolutely that's a great idea! Getting kids involved in the garden at any age is great! We only recommend this class for 8 and older because it is taught virtually and younger ones may not have the attention span for the hour.

  • 5/5 from Ashley Horton, attended Apr 2022: This kid had such a wonderful time during this event, and Nicole did an amazing job keeping them engaged and entertained. They learned so much about gardening, and this was the perfect beginner event for young kids who want to learn more about how to grow their own edible gardens. I would highly recommend this event, it was a blast for everyone who joined!
