Garden Enrichment - For Kids!

Bring the Joy of Gardening to Your Kids

Gardening is one of the most magical ways for children to learn, explore, and connect with the natural world. Whether for a homeschool group, preschool, daycare, or charter curriculum, my Garden Enrichment program is designed to inspire little hands and curious minds.

 

With hours spent volunteering in a local school garden and with my own kids, I know firsthand how powerful the garden can be as a natural classroom. It’s a place for kids to discover, grow, and enjoy the wonder of nature—all while having fun!

Program Options

The Garden Enrichment program is offered as a flexible monthly subscription, designed to suit your schedule and your group’s needs. Choose the frequency that works best for you:

  • Weekly Sessions: 
    Perfect for groups who want consistent, hands-on learning every week. With this plan, we’ll meet four times a month to dive into gardening projects and lessons.
  • Bi-Weekly Sessions:
    A great option for regular gardening fun and learning without the weekly commitment. We’ll meet twice a month to explore exciting topics and activities.
  • Seasonal Sessions: 
    Celebrate the changing seasons with four hands-on sessions spread across the year. Each session focuses on seasonally relevant projects and plants, making it a special way to mark the seasons.
  • Monthly Sessions: 
    Ideal for groups looking for a relaxed yet engaging gardening session once a month. This option is perfect for building a foundation of gardening skills over time.
  • One-Time Event (Planting Day):
    Perfect for special occasions or introducing kids to the joy of gardening in a single, focused session.

Each session lasts 45 minutes and accommodates up to 12 children. Activities are held at your location for convenience and accessibility.
