Seeds to Sprouts


What is Seeds to Sprouts? With new and improved classes for ages 2-5, Seeds to Sprouts is an opportunity for children to discover the wonder of nature and science at a young age. Through stories, guided exploration, and STEM activities in the Garden, Seeds to Sprouts allows your little one to develop an appreciation of the natural world that will grow with them for years to come.

Classes take place outdoors in the Garden and require an adult to attend with each child. For more information, check out the class schedule and descriptions below, or contact us at education@hsvbg.org or 256-830-4447 ext. 253.
