Community Garden Club
Our NECS Community Garden Spring Program is a hands-on creative exploration of seed to table activity for youth K-3. Playing, planting, and observing in a nurturing environment, is at the center if each session. Young gardeners will awaken our garden plot from its winter slumber, creating botanical art & recipes, learning about plants and pollinators while engaging in their interconnected ecosystems.
Get ready for muddy boots, dirty hands and happy hearts while having a lot of fun!
