Garden Adventures – Ages 8 – 14

Tuition: FREE

DATES: January 24 – May 16, 2015

(no class on April 4)

Instructor: Mona Jimenez

Grow plants for eating, cooking, creating, and sharing in the new FCC garden. We’ll experiment with a wide variety of veggies, herbs and flowers growing in everything from straw bales to tires to homemade garden beds. Digging in the dirt and caring for plants is a wonderful way to have fun, learn and connect to each other and our shared natural world. Throughout the harvest, we will invite family and friends to share in the garden’s bounty and the youth will pass on what they have learned. 

 

Hydroponics and Garden Adventures is for ages 8-14 years and will be held on Saturdays, Noon – 3:00 PM. Lunch and light snacks are included. Class sizes are limited. Please register online or by calling 813.645.7651
