Flora Friends
We are thrilled to introduce FLORA FRIENDS, a brand new, weekly garden cohort program for 5 to 7-year-olds. This is an outdoor garden education program designed to engage children who are not yet ready to begin kindergarten at 5 or perhaps being taught in a homeschool setting. Flora Friends is designed to cumulatively build knowledge and garden agency in a small group setting. Children will be led by Garden Educator and artist, Ashlee Mays, through the weekly program. Parents will be asked to send a healthy snack with their child each week and make sure they are dressed for all kinds of outdoor adventures and weather.
We can't wait to launch this program with you!
