Garden Buds is a weekly environmental education program designed specifically for elementary-aged students during the area school district’s summer vacation. Held every Wednesday from 9:30 to 10:30 AM at the Education Cottage, situated at the back of the Garden, this program coincides with the first Little Sprouts session. Garden Buds introduces children to the natural world, fostering a sense of wonder and curiosity about their environment. The curriculum is designed to instill a sense of stewardship for the natural world, helping children develop a lasting appreciation and love for the outdoors. Through hands-on learning and engaging activities, Garden Buds provides valuable educational experiences that promote environmental awareness and responsibility.
