Plant-a-Pot for Kids
If your child loves plants and gardening; they will love this activity (recommended for 4 to 12 years old). Your group will begin by painting “spots” with their fingers and paint the rim of a 6” terracotta pot. While the paint is drying, we will take a walking tour of the nursery and discover interesting and unusual plants. Upon our return, we will finish our spots and turn them into butterflies, caterpillars, ladybugs and honeybees! We’ll also paint a ladybug rock, and to finish our garden we will plant three plants in our pot. Minimum of 10 people to book this party. The cost is $24 plus tax per person and is a 1-hour event.
