Discover the amazing world of plants with your preschooler during the
Garden Buds Summer Saturdays series at the Missouri Botanical Garden. These fun, hands-on classes are for children ages 4 to 6 with a parent.
During this class, kids will discover why birds find the Garden such a wonderful place to live, then make a bird feeder to take home and help attract birds to their own yard.
Please bring a reusable cup for water bottle for your child. Juice and water will be provided. A snack will be served during each class. Snacks may include fruit, vegetables, milk products, wheat soy or eggs (no peanuts), unless the instructor know of an existing allergy.
Cost is $16 per child for members and $19 per child for non-members.
10 to 11:30 a.m.
