Overview

Mission

The children's gardens mission is to "keep our kids connected to nature for generations to come!" as simple as our mission sounds, today it is harder than ever to get our children outside for some nature time. Many obstacles keep kids inside like busy family schedules, not having access to parks, stranger danger and one of the hardest challenges is technology time! Statistically children 3-7 years old spend 2-4 hours on an electronic device, 8-10 years old spend 6 hours on average and 11-14 year old spend up to 9 hours. Kids and adults alike need less screen time and more time in nature!

What it reported doing in 2025

We offer many nature, gardening & art programs weekly as well as special events to get our families outside enjoying the wonders of nature! Our garden programs have been developed to teach kids about the magic of how one little seed can grow their food. We touch on healthy soil, composting & plant identification. Our garden classes promote sustainability, confidence and good nutrition. Normal attendance varies by season from 10 to 24 kids.our nature programs are very hands-on and interactive to get the kids excited about mother nature. We might go on a "bug hunt", or "explore our bog & pond", or visit our "rainforest" for some cool fun. Our outdoor green space creates a perfect opportunity for some backyardbiology! These outdoor adventures teach wildlife habitats, empathy for our animal friends and ecology. Normal attendance is approximately 12 to 30 kids each week.our art programs are specifically entwined in nature by collecting our special nature finds in the garden to create magical works of art, each perfectly original. Our nature art programs not only allow for individual creativity, but sparks the imagination. We create art with about 12 to 24 kids weekly.storytime is an integral part in promoting literacy at the children's garden. We keep a well stocked library in our caterpillar cottage, available daily for families to enjoy. We select a whimsical nature book each week to read in our amphitheater area for all ages to enjoy.normal attendance is 12 to 30 kids.summer camp at the garden is 4 fun-filled weeks of environmental learning, ample outside play time and themed crafts. Our camps encourage exploration, problem solving, confidence, working with others & camp memories! Special events include our "big kiss treasure hunt" (for valentine's day), our "leprechaun gold hunt", "easter egg hunt", and our "halloween spooktacular" to name but a few. These fun-family events are held on a weekend to allow parents, grandparents & kids to get outdoorsand enjoy some nature moments together. Attendance can range from 25 to 80 kids.
