Garden Buds

"Pumpkins"

• Friday, November 8, 2013 — 10 am - 11:30 am

November's theme is "Pumpkins." We carve them at Halloween and eat them as pie at Thanksgiving. Pumpkins are the perfect thing to have some fun with in November!

Garden Buds is a hands-on, seasonal theme program for preschool aged children. In each session, Garden Buds will discover a garden theme through hands-on activities, creative art projects, stories, and a snack. Parents and caregivers are requested to stay with their children during the program.

Garden Buds Program is suggested for ages three to five year olds.

Here's sample schedule of a typical program:
10 am - 10:10 am: Investigation station
10:10 am - 10:25 am: Welcome song and theme of the day
10:25 am - 10:45 am: Craft project
10:45 am - 11 am: Make a garden snack

Wondering what to bring or how to dress?

Please bring a reusable cup for snack time to help us reduce the amount of trash our program generates. If your child has food allergies, please make a special note about that on the registration form or make it known when registering.

Please dress for the weather as try to walk in the gardens during each class. If it is raining, we will stay indoors. Some crafts can be messy, so be prepared for the occasional spill or splatter.

Want to know if you can bring siblings or what the fee covers?

This program is a wonderful opportunity to have focused time with your child, so please make other arrangements for younger siblings.
