Spring is the season to prepare our gardens and celebrate new growth as the earth awakens from winter. Cleaning, preparing, planting, and tending to a garden helps children learn to care for our earth, the role of growing your own food for nourishment, and the long-term responsibility that comes with garden maintenance.

Activities

Kids from KIC and students at Journey House will work together to clean, prepare, and plant flowers or vegetables in Journey House’s on-site garden beds. Youth at Journey House will continue to tend to these gardens in the coming months as they watch beautiful flowers and vegetables grow!

Come ready to get your hands dirty! After garden work is done, there will be an earth-friendly craft using recycled material that everyone can take home.

Impact

Kids will experience how capable their hands are in helping to take care of the earth. They will share and connect with new friends, working together to make a positive impact on the community.
