Family Garden Afternoons are relaxed seasonal garden playdates for families, right in The Nurtured Seedling Garden in Oakland.

Each gathering includes seasonal scavenger hunts, garden story time, simple nature activities, a light snack, and plenty of time to explore the garden together at your own pace.

These open-format mornings are designed to help families slow down, connect outdoors, and experience the beauty of the garden in a gentle, welcoming environment. Your kiddo may even have the opportunity to meet our sweet [pet bunny!

___________

Join us for a three-part series where children will explore the garden through their senses while discovering the joy of seasonal food, plants, and nature.

Designed with flexibility and inclusion in mind, these classes are welcoming for curious children of all learning styles and sensory preferences. Activities offer multiple ways to participate, creating a relaxed environment where every child can engage at their own pace.

Each month we’ll focus on a different sense through hands-on gardening activities, sensory exploration, stories, and creative projects to continue the learning at home.

Each class includes:

🌱 Two hands-on projects to create and take home 

📖 A themed read-aloud story

🥕 A light snack

🌼 Gentle sensory exploration

💛 Time for connection and community

While children learn and explore, grown-ups can either stay, or are invited to browse the shop or enjoy a beverage next door at the collective’s coffee shop.

STAY TUNED for this adult-only event, which happens just before Thanksgiving!
