Garden Keepers' Sessions
Become a Keeper of the Garden!
Join us in the garden for these regularly scheduled evenings of hands-on garden learning where children and their families participate in seasonal garden maintenance, including planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting! These Garden Keepers’ Sessions provide ongoing education about plant care, soil health, and the importance of stewardship while ensuring the garden remains a thriving space for the community.
Our Garden Keepers’ Sessions invite children and their families to become keepers of the garden, tending to the space throughout the growing season while learning essential skills in gardening, sustainability, and ecosystem care.
What to Expect
Each session brings new discoveries; whether it’s building trellises for tomatoes, harvesting the first ripe tomato, spotting a monarch butterfly among the milkweed, or learning the art of seed saving. Guided by our garden educators and community partners, these sessions foster a sense of responsibility, patience, and wonder, helping children and families develop a lasting connection to nature.
Through Garden Keepers’ Sessions, participants don’t just care for the garden; they become part of its story, nurturing a space that will continue to bloom for future generations.
