Garden Sprouts
Enroll your child today in Goodell Gardens & Homestead's hands-on, nature-play program that uses the beautiful grounds as a living outdoor classroom!
The Garden Sprouts Program is held on Wednesday mornings from mid-June through early August. It is designed for children aged 3–6 to foster curiosity, connection, and learning.
Children actively engage in:
- Gardening: Planting, weeding, and tasting their own harvest.
- Sensory Play: Exploring the natural world using all five senses.
- Discovery: Learning basic science (plant life cycles, pollinators).
Each Wednesday can be purchased separately, allowing for flexible enrollment!
This program builds foundational science, early math, and social-emotional skills, while encouraging a lifelong love for nature and healthy food.
