Gardening for the Community
Monthly Drop-In Gardening sessions | Ages 4-13 years
Service Description
Join us once a month for a hands-on, facilitator-led gardening experience where children learn to care for the land, grow food and flowers, and give back to the community. Wild Fauna Garden sessions is a seasonal, drop-in program designed for children to actively participate in tending the shared Rockland Community Garden space. Parents remain on-site to observe and support as needed, while children are guided through meaningful, hands-on experiences. Explore, play, and connect in a shaded outdoor learning space, each month builds on the last as we watch our garden grow and deepen our connection to the land and to each other. This is more than gardening — it is stewardship, confidence-building, and community care. Monthly Get Togethers May – Planting & Preparing the Soil June – TBD July – TBD August – Native Flowers September – Harvest & Giving Back Registration Details Cost: $20/drop-in Each session is $20, and you only pay for the sessions you attend. Payment can be made in person. Please register in advance for any sessions you’d like to attend so we can plan accordingly and best support the children. **Session fees help cover our facilitators for each gathering, and the remaining funds are reinvested into the community garden so we can continue making a meaningful difference together. **Need support?
