You are invited to join us for Kids in the Garden Class from 10 am to noon: “Bugs & Butterflies” on Saturday September 12, 2020 from 10 am to 11 am.
Sign up early!
Alta Vista Botanical Gardens is now in our twelfth year of getting kids outdoors to discover their environment, enjoy nature, dig into gardening, learn about natural resources, and to share art and music. This class and programs for children provided at AVBG have received a national award from the General Federation of Women’s Clubs; come join us!
This month at Kids in the Garden, Farmer Jones will lead the session talking about bugs and butterflies, with hands-on activities for distanced, seated family groups. Should be a fun day in the Gardens and out in nature!
Your registration for the class includes your visit to the Children’s Garden: the Enchanted Garden Tube Tunnels, Fall Fun Festival scarecrows on display, the fantastic Children’s Music Garden, the Turtle and Dino Dig, and the Discovery Trail.
Class fee is $5 per child for two hours of FUN and learning. Fees support the development of the Alta Vista Botanical Gardens Children’s Garden. Adults will stay with their children and pay the $5 Garden entry fee to Farmer Jones. When you join and buy a family membership in Alta Vista Botanical Gardens, the monthly Kids in the Garden class is FREE for a year. Donations are gratefully accepted.
