March 18 – May 13, 2026 | Wednesdays, 4:15–5:15 PM | $5 material fee
The Kids Garden Club runs through the spring on Wednesday afternoons and is open to students from kindergarten through middle school. Participants plant their own starts, care for them through the season, and learn about plants and gardening hands-on.
A few logistics to keep in mind: closed-toed shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are required. The club does not meet on holidays or during school breaks. A bus will drop off participants at the Rec Center (a bus pass is required and can be obtained at the Front Desk), and parents pick up at the garden at the end of each session.
