Growing Minds, Green Spaces, and Future Leaders

At Little Growers Inc., we believe in planting seeds—not just in the soil, but in the hearts and minds of our youth. The Youth Garden Club is a fun, hands-on experience where children and teens ages 5–18 (and even little sprouts starting at age 3 with a parent present) come together to learn, grow, and connect with the earth.

Our club brings young people into the garden to explore food, science, sustainability, and the joy of growing something with their own two hands. From harvesting fresh herbs to building compost bins, our students become stewards of the land and champions for community wellness.

🌻 When We Grow:

Garden Club meets twice a month — on the 1st and 3rd Fridays from 4:45 PM to 5:45 PM during the following seasons:
🗓️ September – December
🗓️ January – May

We do not meet during June, July, or August, as our summer programming shifts to other seasonal initiatives like our Summer Earn & Learn program.
