CHILDREN'S GARDEN WORKSHOPS

Bring your little bud to the Garden and watch them bloom! Our Children’s Garden workshops will expose your child to a love of plants, gardens, and the outdoors. They will also enjoy all the special hands-on features in the Children’s garden like the worms, fairy garden, the touch and smell garden and our new weather station where they can log in the current weather! During the workshops children will listen to gardening stories, participate in fun garden activities, or perhaps go on a sensory tour. All classes are taught by an experienced Master Gardener and we do ask that children be accompanied by an adult.

TIME:  All classes are 10:00 -11:30 am; no pre-registration required.

LOCATION:  Children’s Garden - Master Gardener Demonstration Garden, Ida Lee Park, Leesburg.

FREE:  All our workshops are free and open to everyone, not recommended for children under three.
