Let’s bring a little magic to the garden! You’re invited to help create your own Snap Pea Fairy Garden, where plants grow tall and fairies come to play.

What we’ll do:
🌿 Plant snap pea seeds in soil and watch them sprout and climb.

🫛 Create a teepee tent for your snap peas to climb on.
🏡 Design a tiny fairy home using materials like sticks, moss and woodland figurines.

This single class is designed for kiddos ages 3 to 6, to be done along with their adult to help nurture that special bond.

We will have seasonal, age-appropriate activities to expose your child to the wonderful world of gardening. We'll have them digging in the dirt, learning about seasonal gardening, and will conclude class with a fun, themed-read-aloud.

Who: Families (kids ages 3+)

When: Sunday, April 19th, 10am-12pm

Where: The Nurtured Seedling Garden, Oakland

Investment: Just $5 per family (up to 4 members) — and that $5 becomes a Growing Credit you can use toward any Nurtured Seedling class or event this year.
