About the event
Tinker Gardeners is where little ones will come into the Garden under the Oaks and learn while playing. Using their senses, they will be able to see, touch, smell and taste some of the herbs and other plants growing there.
Your little one will be able to dig for worms in our worm garden, make something "delicious" in the mud kitchen, learn how plants grow, while also creating a garden at home. I will supply everything they need to be successful gardeners.
