Alta Vista Gardens is in their fourth year of getting kids outdoors to learn about their environment and gardening. Join them Saturday, December 8, 2012 at Kids in the Garden – getting down into the dirt and “cooking up compost.” Class time is from 10 a.m. to noon.
Our Earth has many kinds of soils from sand to clay to compost and mulch, and we will be handling and learning about their uses and differences. We will also be cooking up compost using leaves, grass, weeds and garbage to help you get started in your own garden.
Your registration for the class covers your visit to the Children’s Garden including the Fall Fun Festival scarecrows now on display, the fantastic Children’s Music Garden and the Dino Dig, as well as the Incredible Edibles Garden. You are welcome to tour the rest of the Gardens for beautiful views, special gardens and unique sculptures.
Class fee is $5 per child for two hours of fun – accompanied adults are free! When you join and buy a family membership in Alta Vista Gardens, the monthly Kids in the Garden class is FREE for a year. Donations are gratefully accepted.
