Children's Garden Collective Summer Classes
The Children's Garden Collective will be doing three awesome summer courses for you and your families this year. Much like the Royal Botanical Gardens and McQuesten Urban Farm, we will be offering fun-filled classes for kids and youth who want to learn more about gardening while taking part in arts and crafts, music, and sustainability learning, except all of our classes are FREE! You must register to participate in classes so that we are sure to have enough supplies and volunteers. They will operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, and with each class you will receive garden-fresh food, recipes, and tips to take home with you as well! Please note: There are no washroom facilities at the Fonthill Park Garden site, and we will be in the sun. Bring a water bottle, hat, and wear sunscreen! Choose which course you would like to sign up for in the form below
Lil Sprouts (0-4yrs) CLASS IS FULL
Closed to registration
Growing Gardeners (5-11yrs)
Growing Gardeners: This class is for roughly ages 5-11. We will play games, do arts/crafts, and learn important practices from planting, to pruning, to harvesting seeds for next year. Kids will come away with knowledge to help plant their own gardens at home—whether helping tend a large plot of land, or cultivating a few herbs in a pot on a balcony. They will also receive a FREE bag of seasonal produce each week, and recipes and tips for gardening! Tuesdays 10:00am-12:00pm July 15-August 20.*Space is limited! There will be at least two volunteers (with police checks) on site at all times. Kids do not need a caregiver to attend, but parents/caregivers are welcome to stay and join in the fun.
Earth Care for Youth (12-17yrs)
Earth Care for Youth: This class is for roughly ages 12-17. In this class, we will learn the finer techniques of producing food without depleting the land—tips such as companion planting, increasing biodiversity, and allowing land to rest between plantings. We will also discuss things such as eco-anxiety, climate change, and the challenges people face today with food security because of environmental changes. This class runs on Tuesdays from 1:00-3:00 pm, July 15-August 20. Students registered in this course will receive 5 volunteer hours for completing the course, as they participate in cultivating the land in the garden and harvesting food. Students will also receive a bag of free produce at each session (as available), along with tips and recipes!
