The Growing Gardeners Club

Are your little ones curious about the wonders of nature? Our Growing Gardeners Club is the perfect way to nurture their love for the environment and gardening! With free membership, engaging activities, and monthly surprises, it's an opportunity for kids to explore, learn, and grow in a fun, hands-on way.

Whether they're planting seeds or discovering the magic of pollinators, Growing Gardeners inspires a lifelong connection to the natural world.

This year, we have added a demonstration garden for young gardeners. It is located behind the Greenhouse. In February, we asked Growing Gardeners what they wanted us to plant in the garden. As the weather is warming up, we are adding the fruits and vegetables they voted for, plus more!

Each month, we explain what to do in the garden to grow healthy plants, control pests, and harvest crops. We suggest activities that can be done at home and encourage families to try them out. 

We have an online monthly newsletter for parents that includes information about what we are doing in the garden, suggested activities, and links to videos and other resources to help their Growing Gardeners learn more. You can sign up here. You can also pick up a monthly paper newsletter in the Garden Center.
