Kids in the Garden: Birds, Nests and Feathers

Learn about our feathered friends and their special adaptations that help them survive with Farmer Jones. We have hummingbirds, hawks, roadrunners, ducks, mockingbirds, and bluebirds that visit or call the Gardens home. Should be a fun day in the Gardens and nature! Farmer Jones will emphasize hands-on discovery and fun for all!

Class fee is $5 child and $5 per adult for Garden entry. Adults will stay with their children. The class is free for AVBG members. All fees collected will support the Alta Vista Children’s Garden. Alta Vista Botanical Gardens is in our TENTH year of getting kids outdoors to discover their environment, enjoy nature, dig into gardening, learn about natural resources, and to share art and music. Come join us!

Pre-registration with Farmer Jones is required so we have materials for all. Contact farmerjonesavbg@gmail.com or call (760) 822-6824.

The Gardens are open every day for a $5 entry fee, free for members.
Vendors and Volunteers welcome – please contact farmerjonesavbg@gmail.com

Your registration for the class includes your visit to the Children’s Garden: the Ricardo Breceda “Serpent,” the Enchanted Garden Tube Tunnels, our fantastic Fall Fun Festival scarecrows, the interactive Children’s Music Garden, the Turtle and Dino Dig, and the Incredible Edibles Garden and your self-guided tour of the 14-acre Gardens.
